At once private and public, the body is an exceptionally loaded subject. It is capable of evoking multiple responses simultaneously, including eroticism, nostalgia, power, fragility, free will, and humor. The presence of a body in a work of art often conveys insights linked to the tension of its dualities - masculine and feminine, young and old, the repulsive and the alluring. The artwork featured in Eye of the Behold explores the figure through parody, distortion and subversion, giving viewer the opportunity to look at the body and question our assumptions of normalcy and "other".
