As part of a nude body painting exhibition project called “Body Notes”, about 200 participants converged on New York‘s Times Square for four hours, Last week Friday.

Golub said that ‘Body Notes’ was inspired by artist Matthew ‘Levee’ Chavez’s ‘Subway Therapy’ wall at the Union Square subway station, which sprang into existence in the days following the 2016 presidential election and quickly became a place where commuters could express their post-election sentiments by jotting them on Post-it notes for all to see.

Warning signs were posted around the area where the body painting took place, alerting visitors to expect public nudity nearby.

Among the reasons models participated in the ‘Body Notes’ exhibit were to promote body positivity and experience freedom from judgement.

Street artist Andy Golub said:

“People are expressing themselves with their bodies and they’re also expressing themselves with their words. ”
“So it’s an opportunity for them to sort of share who they are and with no shame and with comfort and then on the same token for others to accept them.
“So it’s something that on one level it seems like sort of like a fun silly thing, people are naked, colours, but on the other level it actually impacts people in a very deep way.”
“Why is the naked body so important?”
“Like why is it such a problem?
“Like you know, it’s like amazing the idea of showing ourselves has so much anxiety and so much judgment.
“And meanwhile that’s the most essential core of who we are as people.”
