A "human landscape, complete with nuances of form" is how renowned WA artist GARY LEATHENDALE describes his exquisite nude body portraits.
"The genre of the nude is not about society versions of socially acceptable prettiness but capturing an essence, so age and body shape are not as important as inner inspiration" Gary Leathendale.
Gary Leathendale captures the essence of his models by studying their movements, poses and gestures to characterize body style, rather than in the direct figurative manner.
