Leslie-Lohman Gallery | Current Exhibition

The Leslie/Lohman Gallery presents Drawn Together, a three-part exhibition of well over 500 works on paper. Curated by Rob Hugh Rosen, this show contains both drawings of men together and images of men created by men drawing together.

Drawn Together runs from February 17 through April 3, 2010. There will be a public reception to mark the opening of the exhibition on Tuesday, February 16 from 6pm to 8pm.

In addition to the more than 150 framed pieces in Drawn Together, the exhibition also includes The Big Wall of Little Drawings, an entire wall of the gallery featuring hundreds of smaller, unframed works (5" x 6" to 8" x 10") affordably priced between $60 and $160. Moreover, gallery visitors can peruse portfolios containing well over 100 more unframed works on paper (8" x 10" and larger) starting at $120.

Says curator, Rob Hugh Rosen, "The idea behind Drawn Together is two-fold: first is giving artists an opportunity to exhibit images that unequivocally and proudly express homosexual friendship, love and lust. Secondly, in a difficult financial period, this show provides a venue for artists to sell works and for collectors to purchase some great artwork at a variety of price-points."

Rosen is co-director of the long-running Leslie/Lohman Erotic Drawing Studio, a group of artists that come together weekly to draw nude male models in a variety of sexually charged poses. While Drawn Together features quite a few artists from the Leslie/Lohman Erotic Drawing Studio, it also includes artists from across the city, across the country, and from Europe. Many artists regularly draw the male figure from life in a communal setting, motivated by the challenges of drawing quickly in a limited amount of time, and inspired by seeing the work of their peers. Sharing information about materials and techniques, they thrive in the supportive environment of like-minded artists. Drawn Together celebrates this community of artists and the work they create together.

The following artists are included in Drawn Together:
Carlos Aponte, Stuart Auld, Baca, Frank Barrett, Brian Bednarek, Boyway, Warren Bradley, John Burton Harter, James Childs, Chino, Tom Cocotos, Vincent Colon-Roine, Brendon Connors, William H. Crist, Sam Devries, William Donovan, Dewey Dorty, Erich Erving, Elliott Gerber, Anthony Gonzales, Chuck Hettinger, Geoff Howell, Stefano Imbert, Jiro, Brian Kenny, Dane LaChiusa, Ward Lamb, Tai Lin, David Livingston, James Marino, Kevin H. Maxwell, Chuck McKinney, Jon Michael Johnson, Jeff Miller, Thomas Muscatello, Kenneth Nadel, Chuck Nitzberg, Joseph Radoccia, Fernando Reyes, Miguel Angel Reyes, Robert W. Richards, John Riddle, Blane Robison, Dan Romer, Richard Rosenfeld, Carmine Santaniello, Christian Schilling, Frank Sheehan, Shunga Boy, Paulo Silva, Paul C. Smith, Gary J. Speziale, Steam, Andy Swist, Richard Taddei, George Towne, Branden C. Wallace, Court Watson, Todd Yeager, Bob Ziering

PLEASE NOTE: There are many drawings and paintings on paper that are in portfolios and are not hanging on the walls. Also numerous pieces for the "Big Wall of Little Drawings" are not hanging on the wall as well. Consequently these works are not displayed on the website.
