The human figure has always been a common subject of visual art, it forces the viewer to engage the artwork and enables the artist to express an entire range of ideas from the subtle to the intense. In the history of art the human figure carries, in different ways and through different periods in time, a huge significance, being the most direct means by which art can address the human condition.
The Hilliard Gallery in the Crossroads Art district in Kansas City, Mo., presents the Gallery\'s sixth annual Human Form show. The show now in its sixth year has become increasingly popular with each passing show. The Human form show seeks to showcase artwork, selected not only from the Midwest area but all through out the United States and from other countries. Artist included in this years show are Lani Imre, Bill Miller, Daniel Maidman, Treiops Treyfid, Mark Horst, Guinotte Wise, Bob Clyatt, George Rousis, Aaron Logan, Naomi Litzenblatt, Kristae Peterson, Rick Wright, M&I Garmash, Teresa Magel, Joland Richter Tony Armendariz and Carol Lozada.
Because art is a means of communicating human experiences, human bodies are naturally depicted. The figurative form can be used as the ideal medium to convey a spectrum of ideas with which the viewer can resonate. \"Our bodies: forbidden, subverted, suppressed. Our bodies: elevated, venerated, and sanctified. The human form is unceasingly beautiful, complex, and remarkable. It is one of the very few things that all of us has in common, and yet is a source of perpetual cultural, spiritual, and scientific dissension.\" Finding artistic and beauty in the human form is only natural and this show will showcase some of the best work doing just that.
