Description

This breath-taking painting is from Watson's Censored Nudes series features the Australian model Nathan Collett. Standing in bright sunlight, Collett appears spellbound, gazing at the coloured ball - in much the same way as the viewer can get lost in the shiny and seductive detail of the bubble which appears to envelope him.

The bubble operates as a metaphor for the fleeting physical beauty of youth. Watson's expert rendering has achieved a highly believable result.

Are our attitudes toward nudity and the human body being influenced by what we can view through Instagram or Facebook? With an increasing amount of people using these apps for their primary news and information source are we headed down a path where the human form in its purest state is unacceptable? What do social media companies have to fear by allowing the whole body to be viewed. And more importantly, why are these standards haphazardly applied?

About Limited Edition Canvases

These are our most collectable editions.

All available Edition Canvases are in an edition of three with two artist's proofs. They are hand-signed and numbered by Ross Watson on the reverse (non-image) side of the canvas. Your preferred edition number to purchase can be selected from the top menu.

An Artist's Proof is the same quality as the editions numbered 1-3, and is the first print produced when colour and quality is perfected. Each canvas is of equal quality and value.

Edition Canvases are printed with archival inks on the world's leading archival canvas: Hahnemühle Daguerre.

Use of glass in framing is optional, eliminating potential of reflections when viewing your canvas.

The sizes provided are the unframed image size. The canvases are printed with a generous white border and we recommend they be placed on a wooden stretcher before adding a decorative frame.
