The Russian Nude by Arkadiy Kozlovskiy

The Russian Nude is a study of the female form by the late, Russian photographer, Arkadiy Kozlovskiy (1964-2014). The images in the exhibition were selected from a vast archive and is the first time,both locally and internationally, that the work of Kozlovskiy has been shown in a solo show.

A collection of art nudes from 2010 – 2014, this selection includes black & white and colour photographs, some taken in a studio and many on location. The work is a sensual, erotic, and observant celebration of the beauty and athleticism of the Russian female form, and there is a vintage, retro sensibility at play here. And some humour. Referencing works by German photographer, Helmut Newton and French photographer, Jeanloup Sieff, this is the first Salon Show for Black Eye Gallery.
