From the liberal view in the classical era to the conservative style of the Middle ages and the famous hills of the Renaissance – interest in nudity has always existed.
The genre of "Nude" (an abbreviation of the French word nudité — "nakedness, nudity") is experiencing a new boom now. Stigma, taboos associated with the body, seem completely irrelevant to a Western audience because the mass culture is already accustomed to healthy thoughts – all bodies are perfect.

Naked art
Grigorii Pavlychev
Neo-expressionism is combined with graphics in the works by St Petersburg artist Grigori on the spot. The main author`s task here is the preservation of the volatile dynamics of the body. Abstract expressionist composition and vivid reimagining of graphics devices provide internal traffic. The body in Pavlychev's artworks is interpreted as the cell in the human infinity.
Konstantin Fomin
Moscow artist mainly works in soft technique: pastel, charcoal, sanguine. Fomin interprets the themes of time and infinity, emotionally expressed through physicality in his works. The use of soft materials in conjunction with a loose, almost sketchy manner, reflects the transience of time and captures the viewer's attention on the moment of the scene.
Anna Marinova
Academic artist from St. Petersburg, which fixes his gaze on the poetics of the naked body. The beauty of innocence and tranquility, the moment of absolute helplessness and the truth read in pretty unnatural poses. The poetic realism of Anna Marinova is an attempt to absolutize the beauty of the female image, not its reality.
