Body from the Suitcase (expired event)

"This is not a ‘Nude’ show, although a lot of skin is showing."

In this exhibition Judy Rogers is showing fragmented views of the nude or semi nudes of bodies, paintings of body parts, female and male. The body is a play on words: a body of works but paintings of the human body. This show was brought to St Petersburg by the artist in a case as part of her luggage in 2018, so the body from the suitcase is a fitting description. Depictions of sexuality and the body are part of Rogers‘ visual vocabulary from the beginning.

The paintings and sculptures are reflections on personal space, domesticity, body issues, insecurities, sex, coming of age and ageing.
