BALTIMORE — John Waters has something he wants to get off his chests.
To be precise, the Baltimore cult filmmaker and visual artist has something he wants to get off all six of the nude torsos depicted in “Hairball,” a 2004 artwork created by Waters that pays homage to hirsute men.
Perhaps the most jaw-dropping of the chest nests in “Hairball” — on view through April 16 at C. Grimaldis Gallery as part of the “The Worst of Waters” exhibit — is the torso in the upper left corner of the frame. It depicts a dense, heart-shaped thicket that stretches nearly shoulder to shoulder on the model.
