For over 36 years, on inner E. Burnside Ave, Hipbone Art Studio has served Portland area artists by offering multiple weekly figure drawing sessions. Founder Jeff Burke, a professional model from New York, “encouraged the view of the model as a sensitive, thinking, expressive being -- a subject, rather than an object.” This set a tone of professionalism, generosity, and collaboration between artists and models.
This exhibit is a collaboration between Hipbone Art Studio and Sidestreet Arts Gallery. All the artworks are created by Hipbone artists and juried and curated by Sidestreet Arts Gallery members. We invite viewers to enjoy the beauty, complexity, variety, and mystery of the human form in this wide range of art mediums. We hope this exhibit offers a contemporary window on the long and honored history of figure drawing and painting.
