The Body Exquisite – now in its 9th year- is a series of beautiful Shibari drawing events in one of the most atmospheric spaces in LondonDrawing with incredible performers, each salon is unique with a different feel, dynamic and emotional quality- all set against a bespoke soundtrack by Tom Visual Sound
For this salon we will be drawing with the incredible @mouseinrope and partner
Let us take you by the hand into the fabulously atmospheric chambers of The Crypt for a candle lit life drawing session of sensuality and physicality-
In Japanese, “Shibari” simply means “to tie”. The contemporary meaning of Shibari describes an ancient Japanese artistic form of rope tying. Shibari style rigging creates geometric patterns and shapes with rope that contrast beautifully with the body’s flesh.
This is a very intimate and completely immersive drawing experience and a chance to observe the incredibly close relationship between model and rigger, the physcial and emotional experience of the model, the sensuality, vulnerability and strength of the manipulated body and the sheer physicality of the body suspended.
A truly beautiful and unforgettable evening of drawing.
