Kapera of JKK Fine Arts. The exhibit opens at the Loft Gallery at the Delaware Arts Center in Narrowsburg, NY on Friday, August 13, with a reception from 7-9 p.m. The show will be on view through September 4. "The realm of 'Naked Bodies, Naked Souls' is a very private, personal world; a world of artists' secrets, dreams, feelings, and deepest emotions," says curator Kapera. "They have expressed the unexpressed-- they have found the way to show spiritual and mystical states of soul in dream-like, symbolic images." This exhibit features the work of 16 international artists: Daniel Barkley (Canadian), Luigi Casalino (Italian), Joanna Chrobak (Polish), John Dugdale (American, NYC), Barbara Falender (Polish), Michel Henricot (French), Michael Kuch (American, MA), Tom Misztal (American, OR), Aleksandra Nowak (American, NJ), Darek Nowakowski (American, NYC), Egidijus Rudinskas (Lithuanian), Krzysztof Skorczewski (Polish), Lubomir Tomaszewski (American, CT), David Vance (American, FL), Damian Wojtowicz (Polish), and Piotr Woroniec (Polish). "'Naked Bodies, Naked Souls' is not about eroticism, it is about the beauty of the body and the soul," says Kapera. "It is about human emotions - loves, sorrows, desires, and quests, happiness and despair." Free and open to the public, the exhibit is sponsored by the Delaware Valley Arts Alliance, the Arts Council for Sullivan County, NY, and is made possible in part with public funds from the Visual Arts Program of the New York State Council on the Arts. Loft Gallery is located at the Delaware Arts Center at 37 Main Street, Narrowsburg, NY. Hours are Tuesday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. For more information about the exhibit contact: Rocky Pinciotti, Gallery Director, rocky@artsalliancesite.org or visit www.ArtsAllianceSite.org               For additional information and pictures please contact JKK Fine Arts Tel.
