Sexy in Silk 

Greg Hildebrandt's drawing, "Sexy in Silk", presents us with a figure enshrouded in the aesthetics of classic Hollywood glamour. The woman is seen holding a cigarette and a glass of wine. A high slit in her dress reveals a bare leg, drawing the viewers gaze. She stands as a figure who revels in her own sensuality. Hildebrandt navigates a complex terrain. His work evokes a sense of nostalgia and fascination with the aesthetics of pin-up art and classic glamour. The artwork also invites us to consider the historical context of the male gaze and the objectification of women. What does it mean to reclaim ownership over one's sexuality? How does one negotiate the gaze? This piece is emotionally charged, creating an interesting tension, a space where objectification and empowerment blur.
