Aquarelle Crayon on Paper
From the Museum of Natural History, to the Museum of Sex, to Art @ Large: an exhibition of drawings by Fred Hatt.
Fred Hatt's love and skill for drawing the human figure is equal to his passion for Body Art performance. His work as a performance artist takes him on travels world-wide where he engages in everything from ritualist work based on Japanese Butoh to body-painting live nude models.
Most notably, his body-painting performance video was featured in Body Art: Marks of Identity, November 1999 - May 2000 at the American Museum of Natural History in New York City.
'Drawing is a kind of dancing, all there in the moment, in the body. The artist's eyes dance on the beams of light that move on the surfaces of the model. Underneath, tremors and shiftings of muscles, movement of breath, flowing of vessels and nerves call the eye here and there, moving. In these visions the mind traces line, form, light and color, partnering the dance.'
