The Human Form

Curator

Shane Guffogg

Lindsay Arts is pleased to present The Human Form, an exhibition that delves into the diverse ways artists perceive, interpret, and represent the human figure. The depiction of the human form is one of the most enduring subjects in the history of art, tracing back tens of thousands of years to prehistoric cave paintings, where early humans first recorded their existence through expressive imagery.

By presenting multiple interpretations of the human form, this exhibition invites reflection on the ways in which artists engage with identity, embodiment, and perception. Whether through the intimate study of the female torso of Alisson Van Pelt, or the expressive re-imagining of bodily forms by Shane Guffogg, The Human Form offers a compelling exploration of one of art’s most fundamental and timeless subjects.
