As if my love for pin-ups and hot chics could not get any worse, I think my passion just bumped up to a new level and reinforced that I am onto something, and that drawing naked woman will be something that artists illustrate and display for the rest of time. It's obvious that this new form of beauty has taken over our era and is a perfect example of how beauty changes over time. And thus every reason for me to continue doing what I do, and nailing away at my defined art style in attempts to create some sort of new character/ archetype or (in realty) a reinterpretation of a pre existing one.
Corey Helford Gallery, 2007
(from the press release) Corey Helford Gallery is proud to present Hooker Safari: A Glamorous Jungle Pageant, a solo exhibition of new works by Los Angeles artist Natalia Fabia. This will be Fabia's first solo show at the Gallery, and her most ambitious exhibition to date.
Hooker Safari marks a new direction in the artist's style and technique, while retaining the seductive and provocative imagery that she is known for. Fabia takes the viewer on an African expedition where glamorous women are the wildlife: a seductress and her panther prepare for the kill, a herd of girls relax in a savanna, and a glamazon perches in her tree. The show will feature twenty oil-on-panel paintings, numerous drawings and an exotic vine installation of entangled chandeliers,flowers, bugs, and glitter. Opening night will also include the debut of Hooker Medallions, limited-edition wearable works of art from Fabia's jewelry line Hookerfeathers. Also, heightening the atmosphere of safari and celebration will be the appearance of "Charon Nogues and Her Beasts of Burden", featuring ten Los Angeles models who will be dressed in a collection of custom, sexy animalesque costumes designed by stylist Charon Nogues.
