LAS VEGAS — The Erotic Heritage Museum has selected Clare O Hagan as its “Summer Featured Artist.”
O Hagan’s latest exhibition, “Embracing Women,” will be exhibited in the Erotic Heritage Museum’s lobby library now through the end of August.
“Embracing Women” is a series of some 50 drawings and prints created over a period of two decades by artist Clare O Hagan, a museum publicist said. The prints and drawings celebrate female eroticism, empowerment and same-sex intimacy. Based on life drawing studies, each piece explores female sexuality through the lens of O Hagan’s personal feminism. They not only explore the female experience but examines notions of sensuality and desire without self censorship.
In addition to the live exhibition, “Embracing Women” is also available as an ebook for both Mac and PC, as well as a print edition. For more information, click here.
"What attracted me to Clare's art was how real and how compelling it is,” curator Brittany Crosby said. “The models she works with aren't the typical nude models, they have weight and curves. She creates still-life works, which she then paints or stamps over magazine images.
“For the exhibit, we wanted to make it feel like you were walking into an artist studio; the art isn't hung perfectly, the images overlap, and it is organic in its installation. We are honored to be working with Clare to share her vision with our museum guests."
Irish-born O Hagan is an award-winning visual artist and filmmaker who lives in London. She creates and produces art projects, ambitious in scale and concept, conveying complex aspects of the human condition and the world she inhabits, utilizing a wide variety of media, which include printmaking, drawing, altered art, still photography, film, moving image and textiles.
The Erotic Heritage Museum houses more than 24,000 square feet of permanent and featured exhibits. The museum’s ethos is that sexual pleasure and its depiction are natural aspects of the human experience, and that such celebrations of individual human sexuality — that of pleasure — must be made available to all, regardless of gender, race, or belief.
