Artist Statement:
Brent & Shirley Cairns of
Kaiapoi are the artists behind
the brand name of NakedArt.
Reverence for the human form
is the underlying value behind
each of the sculptures that
they create from taking a
mould from a live model. Some
of the most famous and popular
artworks through the ages have
involved the human form and
this couple are carrying on
this tradition with their
unique style of sculpture.
Their creative skill brings
out the beauty in each of the
people that offer to model for
them with techniques developed
to capture minute detail.
Generally the medium employed
is imported gypsum from the
United States. Multiple layers
of colored glaze are then
applied to produce a faux
bronze effect that changes the
look of the sculpture as the
light changes during the day
or with artificial light at
night.
Another medium they use is
glass. The wonderful effects
you get when you combine the
human body and the translucent
properties of glass, makes for
a sensual ambience.
Pewter is another medium they
have experimented with
providing a unique reflective
contemporary look, along with
Aluminium.
Whilst both raised in
Southland they came from very
different backgrounds,
Shirley’s fathers business
manufactured ...
