About this artwork
The male figure was chosen as a classically beautiful subject, his ken doll like features are reminiscent of a Pierre & Giles artwork or a Jean Paul Gaultier ad campaign image.
the model is embellished with queer references, the original pride flag is his backdrop-with its colours melting into one another, the model himself becomes part… of the icon as his shoulders disappear into the violet band which represents the spirit of LGBTQ people. A delicate red rose is held in his teeth, symbolizing the giving of one heart to another.
This piece is delicately composed with arrestingly realistic focal points and rich symbolism to celebrate sydney world pride in
2023
** artwork is framed in a custom-made float frame.
