ARTundressed offers a quality ‘Naughty Weekend’ in Miami, FL

If you are at a loose end in Florida this weekend and looking for some high quality entertainment with a different edge or perhaps some unique artwork for your walls; then ARTundressed’s 6th Annual Creative Nude Art Festival offers a naughty weekend in Miami and may be just the tonic for you.

Robert Babylon at ARTundressed

This year Robert Babylon’s work is appearing in the ‘Invited Artist’ category and there will be a fine display of his UV and ‘natural’ light work – although sadly this year he won’t be able to join his work in Miami due to a prior engagement. The festival is three days of erotic entertainment of all kinds – full details of locations and times are available at the ARTundressed website http://artundressed.com/

ARTundressed celebrates the artistic, humorous, and sensual aspects of creative nude art; both in visual and performance arts.  Since its inception, this event has toured many different countries and numerous cities from all over the world, including Miami, New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Dallas, Berlin (Germany), as well as Montreal and Toronto (Canada).  The collection of exhibited artworks is always top-notch showcasing some of today most talented, creative, renowned artists and photographers.  To differentiate our event, we go through a very calculated and selective process to feature top local, national and international artists, exhibiting some of the best nude art that exert the highest level of creativity.

In addition to displaying the best creativity in the nude art genre, a great amount of effort is spent on complimenting the “visual arts” portion of the event with Outrageous Fashion and Tantalizing Entertainment including Top International Deejays, Live Music, and Sexy Performance Art.  Attending the ARTundressed event is truly a memorable, interactive, and erogenous experience.

Robert Babylon Exhibits at Seattle (WA) Erotic Art Festival

Good luck they say come in threes and I’ll agree since this is my third year exhibiting at the mighty Seattle Erotica Arts Festival (SEAF) and this year the judges have accepted three of my most popular photographs onto their hallowed walls for exhibition and sale.

2016 Festival will be hosted on April 22-24 at the Seattle Center Exhibition Hall.

Tickets are on sale now from the SEAF Website.

About SEAF:

The Seattle Erotic Art Festival is an experience unlike any other festival or gallery you have likely ever attended.  Over the course of three days, a curated selection of some of the finest erotic art the world has to offer will grace the floors of the Seattle Center Exhibition Hall, awaiting your perusal and enjoyment.

During regular festival hours, you are invited to view the art and daily entertainments, from poetry readings to pantomime to acrobatic displays.  There is also the Festival Store, where you can often find prints by the artists featured in the festival as well as other unique items and annual Seattle Erotic Art Festival merchandise. In the evenings, the vibe changes from a gallery to sexy art party. The Late Night Festival is a sexy, fun time with DJs, performers, bartenders at the ready, and a fantastically energetic crowd.

The Festival art will engage you, titillate you, and make you think.  Not every piece is to everyone’s tastes, but there is something there that will speak to you – and what doesn’t can lead to some fascinating conversations. Whether you are joining us for the first time and new to the sex positive community, or have attended these events for years – this festival is for you.

Looking for more tantalizing glimpses at what’s on offer for you this year?

RB Work Available at 12 Inches of Sin’s IMMERSIVE in Las Vegas

If there’s still a taboo around erotic art in Las Vegas, rest assured: Dr. Laura Henkel is breaking it. The curator and specialist in human sexuality helms the Sin City Gallery. She also runs 12 Inches of Sin, an annual juried erotic art exhibition. Now, for the competition’s fifth year, an immersive art experience will accompany the annual competition.

RB at Sin City IMMERSIVE in Las Vegas

My work will be amongst the 300 works of erotic art included in the evenings festivities.

For the April 9 event, Dr. Henkel is taking over the entire Arts Factory complex, the converted warehouse where Sin City Gallery is located, amongst other fine art studios and commercial galleries. She hopes to encourage Las Vegas’ downtown arts scene, and from 1 PM to midnight, the complex will be filled with visual and performance art, lectures, and live entertainment.

“Sin City Gallery is dedicated to providing a serious professional forum, exhibit space, and series of publications for practitioners of provocative art who have too long been marginalized or excluded from so much of the art world,” reads a press release for the event.

“HIDDEN” ART Exhibition at The Nude Tin Can Gallery in St. Albans

“HIDDEN” ART Exhibition at The Nude Tin Can Gallery in St. Albans

The exhibition has started but fear not – it is not yet over and my neon painting “UV Liquid Gold” will be on display at the gallery in all it’s neon splendor for a while longer.

For all of those of you who can reach St Albans there is a chance to see one of my fluorescent Acrylic on Canvas paintings. Illuminated with UV light it glows creating a realistic experience of the original scene. My UV photography is viewed under ‘normal’ lighting while my Neon Artwork is fluorescent and is best viewed under UV light. The painting may also be viewed under ‘normal’ lighting but it takes on a whole new aspect when seen under UV lighting.

Robert Babylon at Nude Tin Can Gallery

About the Exhibition:

​A story within the art piece. A hidden meaning. An abstract concept. On occasion the artist is generous and reveals to the viewer the reason and meaning behind their creations…often the observer must discover and invent their own interpretation. Each piece of art will encourage the viewer to wonder and discover the narrative behind the work. A person, a place, a happening.

Monday Closed
