  • Spirit of Soho
    Spirit of SohoBased on the crossroads between examination, memory and identity, those paintings celebrate the physicality and sensuality of men body and its fresh flesh. As well confronts the meanings of the homoerotic fetishism and religion, also observing the sexual pleasure of our multicultural environment, embracing pop and kitsch culture. This painting takes inspiration from the anonymous fashionable well toned bodies found in adverts of men’s flesh. This painting reference also the homoerotic imagery found in Soho bookshops and the appropriation of masculine sexual icons. This series of painting are based in religious Renaissance paintings and the use of Liquid Leaf to add an effective metallic finish; to merge meanings of sacred flesh and sensuality, based on the idea of homoerotic fetishism biting the catholic religion. They are painted in gray tones celebrating life and the great paintings by Picasso, using isolated black white and gray hues contradicting the complexity and power of the expressive works. It reinforces the glow glitter background, which purge colour in order to highlight their formal structure.
