Arden Selected for Gallerium’s “Nudus” Exhibition

Arden, Nicole Jeffords | Oil on Canvas | 28” x 22” | 2011

It has been awhile since I’ve reflected on this portrait I painted 11 years ago. This model’s skin, hair and very thin body-type were so alluring to me that I went through a phase where I painted her whenever possible.

So when I came across Gallerium’s call for artworks that represent the artist’s expression of human body as a manifestation of unveiled truth, I was excited to revisit this oldie that I still treasure.

I’m honored to announce that my portrait was selected for this international exhibition, along with 168 works by other artists. All selected artworks will get published in The Book of Arts: Nudus.

This online exhibition is available to view from August 10 - September 10, 2022.

Here’s another portrait I painted of Arden, also in 2011. This one is available for purchase in my shop.
