Yen Comer-Hudson - 21st Century Nudes (+video)
Written by
TLC graduate Yen Comer-Hudson presents his latest paintings, a series of nudes. Yen has been planning this exhibition for a year and has had the luxury of time to get his images just how he wants them.
Building on life-drawings he worked on while a student, he has explored the nude figure in six works which are on display in Wellington’s Paramount theatre.
Yen was inspired by renaissance style paintings of nudes reclining and has sourced second-hand ornate gilt frames which three of the paintings are presented in. His other three works are less traditional approaches to the nude, exploring unusual compositions and adding in some experimental techniques.
The Learning Connexion had a chat with him just before the show opened, about the work, his inspirations and living as an artist.
