For over 30 years, the Lexington Art League has continued to push the boundaries beyond the traditional ‘figure exhibition’ toward a deeper exploration of the human experience and form.

 Stripped down and back to it’s most bare, The Nude: Brutal Beauty is an exhibition of the human figure that speaks to our innermost instincts that crave satisfaction, pleasure, and comfort. Through works that invite us to examine the physical qualities we are unable to avoid and often hide, The Nude: Brutal Beauty, seeks to convey a universal rawness that reveals our desires and limitations, while boldly approaching the way we experience the human form.
