\nThe Wayne Art Center <\/a>is having two exhibitions, The Nude, Mirror of Desire<\/em> showing the work of Ben Kamihira, Paul DuSold, Margaret McCann, and Scott Noel as well as the juried exhibition The Nude Figure<\/em> which displays 71 artists with 86 works selected out of 242 artists and with Scott Noel and Paul DuSold as the jurors.<\/p>\n

The Wayne Art Center press release states:<\/p>\n

The Nude, Mirror of Desire<\/em><\/a> picks up the theme of Philadelphia’s centrality to negotiating the charged subject of the figure. Ben Kamihira, Paul DuSold, Margaret McCann, and Scott Noel paint the figure from personal obsession, but with an equal feeling for the traditions of eloquence the subject has inspired throughout the history of painting. Along with the hope of providing visual pleasure, the painters ask very quietly, what becomes of desire when it encounters the demands of form?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The video below shows Scott Noel and Paul DuSold talking about how this show came about as well as explaining in depth the central ideas around this show.<\/p>\n
