Description: Cartoonist writes 'A painted cartoon...Its title is Nous sommes nus. Recently I had an exhibition of paintings at Roar! Gallery called Fighting for a Peace. In it I included a painted cartoon about the highly contentious issue of nude bathing on the Kapiti Coast. The debate was about whether the whole of Kapiti Coast should be made available for nude bathing. A couple stand in the nude. Perhaps theyre uncomfortable without their clothes on. Their faces retain a very dressed and corporate look even if their bodies dont. A wind of change blows through their hair. This is strange for them, something new. And they express their thoughts in the language of freedom, French. One asks: 'What are we?' Their partner replies: 'Were naked'. The word for naked, nus, sounds the same as nous, so the second person is also saying: 'We are ourselves'. Quantity: 1 digital cartoon(s).
