Untitled (After Leigh Bowery posing for the painter Lucian Freud) is a large-format color pencil drawing that considers a moment of vulnerability, during a time when Bennett was convalescing from an injury. To convey this private moment, the artist intuitively recalls performance artist Bowery’s ability to express the body, while veiling parts, making it legible in new ways.–Artist statement
