Informally Acquainted: An Exhibition of New Figurative Art

Friday, May 12 at 6 PM – 9 PM
Black Moth Tattoo Parlor and Art Gallery
18 E Lancaster Ave, Ardmore, Pennsylvania 19003

Black Moth Gallery presents a group exhibition exploring form as subject by contemporary artists. The collection of artworks addresses issues of self-identity, body type acceptance, intimacy and aging. Working in various mediums from timeless practices to exploring new materials and techniques, artists evince their appreciation of the human figure.

Some exercise mastery of classic renderings of the subject while others seek expressive interpretations and inspirations of the all so familiar forms, albeit infinitely unique.

The show will be on display May 9th- June 27th, with the opening reception on May 12th.

Please join us for a chance to meet local artists and purchase their original works. Light refreshments will be served.
