About the Item
This painting is a fantasy, but it is about real things. Real dreams, real experiences, real opportunities. We are, all of us, free to strip off our clothes and explore a kelp forest, to swim among the fish as one of them. As artists, we are free to let go of rules of perspective, "proper" subjects and representationalism, as we embrace new directions in painting with complete freedom. Underwater, there is no up or down... as we navigate the depths we swim head up, head down, sideways... orientation is as fluid as our weightless environment. This painting took two of us three years to complete because we were doing so much more than painting: we were re-imagining ourselves as artists, re-imagining art itself as what it might be for us. Why do we love to swim naked in the ocean? Because we are alive and free. Why do we paint? Because we are alive and free.

Nude Ascending
By Nansi Bielanski Gallup and David C. Gallup
Located in Palm Desert, CA
On a recent trip to the Caribbean, Nansi and David were frequently surrounded by large shoals of Palometa fish, a privilege which inspired this painting, “Nude Ascending”. The motif, a nude swimmer interacting peacefully-almost spiritually-with ocean life, has become one of the trademarks of the husband and wife collaborative duo.
