MG Gallery is presenting the first solo exhibition of the Bordello Blues Series by artist Vicky Stadtler. Stadtler has gained critical acclaim for her expressive nudes which she infuses with brazen female sexuality. The Bordello Blues series was inspired by Vintage Paris Erotica postcards and photographs dating 1890-1918.
"In the quiet refuge of my studio I found myself wondering who these women were that posed in bordello settings and how would I capture these muses of so long ago? I felt that their ghost-like presence had to be pulled back into this world via canvas." - Vicky Stadtler
