Some Favorites from a few erotic gay art galleries,
Enjoy...
Using what he calls a «glamorization technique», the artworks of artist Fred Pyrczak make interesting statements about the nature of male beauty. The technique makes the portraits look like male versions of heavily retouched Hollywood divas from the 40s and 50s, a treatment normally reserved for portraits of women.
Expressionistically painted with a quick and bold brush, they seem like snapshots from a never-ending idyllic summer, with the bodies of naked and half naked men forever glittering in the sun.
The gallery of Virginia artist David Alan Crumpler is worth a look.
He is a truly excellent draughtsman, rendering his sensitive portraits and male nudes with soft pencil shades and lightning, and very beautiful lines. Even the perfect-bodied nudes seem more like portraits of real people, with character and personality, than simple idealisations.

Charmingly executed pencil drawings, and paintings with a sweet, childlike look belie their dark, twisted content of sexuality, disfiguration and wierdness. Brooks' background as an illustrator of childrens' picture books is evident in the drawings, and this combined with the contrast of the very somber thematic content of the artworks give them a very special, haunting quality. Not all are obviously gay-themed, but an undercurrent of outsiderish gayness runs through it all. It's facinating on the whole, grotesque and funny - and expertly executed.
Canadian artist Zachary Logan uses his own body as subject in his art. Frank and strangely poetic, his over life-sized paintings and drawings seems to be not so much about narcissistic self-exposure as about an honest and unafraid display of the artist as a vulnerable – and even ludicrous - human being. Draughtsmanship and painterly technique seems to fall easy for the youngish artist, letting the artworks subject shine unencumbered through.
