Nude Nite Orlando is at the Central Florida Fairgrounds & Expositions Park (4603 W Colonial Dr, Orlando, Florida) this year. It was scheduled to happen at Artegon but Artegon closed it’s doors for good. Nude
Nite is a dazzling pop up gallery, an art and entertainment event
celebrating the beauty of the nude. It brings together hundreds
of artists for three evenings of visual art, performance and a cast of
characters both in costume and out. Open to the public, tickets can
be purchased at the door. Show is 21+
I walked the event quickly and settled in to sketch the incomparable Nix Herrera who was doing exotic Art Nouveau body paintings, The woman was painted all black with golden stenciled patterns on her belly thighs and forearm. A heavy set man was being painted all bronze. They both had black fabric helmets. The woman had a thin face guard similar to a football he met and the bronze man had aviation goggles. The woman held an illuminated globe. Futuristic golden triangular forms were mounted around her nipples. She wore an expressions white mask giving her a statuesque flair.
Selfismo had a painting with a man with an enormous penis. The penis looks like it is sticking out of a woman’s head in me sketch. A little for the back in the scene there was a confession area. Fire curtained booths allowed for the most sordid confessions. One confession read, “I an tucking my fiance’s best friend.” Another, promoting the confessional said, ” I showed my mom’s deck picks to my class.”
A common theme in the visual art displayed was of nude women under water. There must have been at leas ten photos and paintings of the aquatic setting. A very ugly mermaid was at another body painting station. A nude woman on stilts wandered through the crowd waving sinewy rainbow scarves.
Tonight starting at 6pm is the last night to experience 25,000 SF of Nude Art and Entertainment.
