The artist

Pauline Faieff, "faepaulinee", neither a model nor a photographer. She is a passionate French artist who cannot be strictly defined who plays with creativity. Sometimes art director, sometimes her own muse, she fuses femininity, poetry and sensuality. Her nude art is an echo of freedom, an absolute expression of self. She visualises an idea and collaborate with those who can help her to bring it to life.

ARTWORK DESCRIPTION

"People say my nude art isn't art, but when I go to museums, all I see are naked bodies. Will you see my art differently if it's framed?" At the heart of contemporary art discourse lies a puzzling enigma, embodied by the evocative work entitled "The Unacceptable Frame". This work of art convincingly addresses the schism between classical and modern interpretations of nudity in art, challenging our entrenched beliefs and societal norms. For centuries, the human form, in all its naked glory, has been celebrated on canvases the world over. Nude art has been both muse and message, an exploration of humanity in its purest form. Museums, sacred sites of culture and history, are overflowing with these naked forms, revered and celebrated by the masses. Yet, outside these marbled walls, contemporary nude art & photography, like "The Unacceptable Frame", are often confronted with a juxtaposed reality - a society quick to reject, criticize and even shame. Why doesn't today's nude art elicit the same reverence as that of yesteryear? Is it the context, the intention, today's society or simply the setting? This work confronts the viewer with a profound question: "Will you see my art differently if it's framed?" It underlines the powerful influence of context and presentation on our perception. By placing the nude in a "frame", I am asking whether a simple boundary, a wooden border perhaps, can dictate acceptability. Does the frame validate and elevate the art, or is it merely a superficial shield against societal critique? "The Unacceptable Frame" doesn't just expose a body; it presents an ongoing dialogue, a contest between acceptance and prejudice. It boldly questions the disparities in our collective aesthetic values and prompts us to reflect on our own prejudices. It invites the viewer to question whether the true essence of art lies in its content or in the way it is presented. At a time when art and interpretation are rapidly evolving, this piece is a stark reminder that acceptance must be based on intrinsic value, not just the framework within which it is presented - a perfect resonance with NFTs.
