Queering Fine Arts @queeringfinearts.bsky.social · 1d

Two graphite studies are taking shape in my studio this week — one destined for oil, the other for engraving.
Each traces the uneasy beauty of flesh and decay, where desire and dissolution intertwine.
Leave a ❤️ or 🖤 in the comments to decide which study I’ll finish for Halloween.

Hands that speak louder than words.
The soldier’s sword asserts his virility, while the other man’s hand, holding his companion’s hat, takes a piece of his attire — playful, intimate, charged.
Desire flows between them, blurring power and tenderness.

Close-up from The Lovers of Toledo, attributed to Francisco de Goya: at left a half-naked soldier’s hand rests on his sword; at right, another man holds the soldier’s tricorne hat, a piece of his attire turned intimate. The gestures suggest desire and tenderness.

I’ve spent years tracing what was made to disappear — the bodies, the tenderness, the danger of being seen.
Queering Fine Arts is the museum I built for them — for us — where desire and history meet again without apology.

A hidden chapter of queer history: a 17th-century gallery where collecting became theatre—men desiring men behind art’s decorum.

A 17th-century Flemish painting reimagined as a queer tableau, depicting Don Juan of Austria surrounded by his male circle — revealing desire behind art’s decorum.

Two men, half-dressed, close enough for the heat between them to replace light.
Flesh against fabric, power against surrender — the line between them no longer moral, only physical.
The Lovers of Toledo — after Goya.

It’s something I could do. Did play posters, exhibition illustrated panels, a lot of artwork similar to this theme and programs but never a book cover. But it could be very interesting.
