...we categorically knew we were getting it right".
Male Nude Bronze Sculptures
created by artist Malcolm Lidbury
Lidbury first exhibited his male nude bronzes at the Arts Club Penzance in 1997. Following intense abusive Devon & Cornwall police intimidation & Homophobia from 2004 towards Lidbury creating perfectly lawful & legal male nude paintings, Lidbury following suicide attempts stopped creating art for a duration.
Gradually primarily through encouragement of friends Lidbury returned to sculpting. In 2011 he approached Cornwall Pride to exhibit Art as a gay artist at the event.
In 2012 he was invited precisely because of the Cornwall Pride ban to exhibit his male bronzed sculptures at a Holistic Event in Cornwall. Attended by several hundred persons...& no complaints about his bronzed male nude figurative sculptural art
