The Christopher Henry Gallery showcases emerging and mid-career art with
the singular mission to promote a higher standard in the contemporary art
community. In 2006, gallery founder and director Christopher Henry curated
the third barebrush virtual exhibition (November 2006), an early endorsement
of the barebrush concept. Now after 18 months, barebrush returns, passing
the baton to gallery director Bart de Koning Gans, a natural development. "I
am very pleased and proud to have the Christopher Henry Gallery participate
in barebrush once again," says barebrush CEO Ilene Skeen. "Chris was
involved early on and Bart's interest in the project is no less welcome."
When asked what he would be looking for in the June show, Bart wrote:
I look for strong line work, concept of space and composition. Material
is irrelevant, it is the final product that matters.

controversial genre are encouraged submit their art . Art entered on or
before May 23, 2008 will be automatically considered for both the June and
July 2008 Nudes-of-the-Month contests. The curator for the June contest will
