Ani/Mate II

1. Barazoku ('Rose Tribe') NO. 19
2. Pierre Debusschere RS-RE 1 : AS

Raf likes to work with Pierre and I like to work with duplicates. Episodes of the subconsciously discovered and repeatedly recurrent. Even to myself it is a phenomenon what pairing will be next.

Unfinished

Collage and text Horst

My contribution to a collaborative art publication that may never become reality: PARFUM Mag. Initiated by Victor Antonio, the surrealist tradition of cadavre exquis became alive once again. For my part, I created a fake perfume advertisement poem.

Vintage record browsing can lead to utmost satisfying results.

Velum Vellum

Artworks Paul Cadmus

I always felt attracted to magic realism. How the clothes cover the bodies like a second skin. Only appearing as an alibi for nudity and eroticism. But also adding an ease, lightness and vulnerability.

A Single Man

A Single Man 2009

The notion of loss. The notion of sex. Somehow every scene seemed to touch my heart. And I am not afraid to admit my emotional surrender. We all feel we are in the need of a reason in life, a logic sense, a destination. And we tend to project this desire onto a thing called love. Somehow we all fail.

Three Drawings

Artworks Unknown, Jean Cocteau, Theo Firmo

Thin lines creating three-dimensionality. Implicating interactions of the male body and investigating on their physique. Reduced to a minimum of means while simultaneously creating layered meaning.
/HORST

Shasei

Artworks Sadao Hasegawa

Mythology and male anatomy. His works inherit a Japanese momentum, this very notion of directness hidden behind surreal expression. The explicit, masochistic and sexual seemingly tolerated when stylised. And almost like a gay artist's tradition, Sadao Hasegawa committed suicide following the example of Mishima Yukio and leaving behind works of undaunted kitsch.

Hero Worship

Part 11: Tony Ward




Photos Ken Haak, Steven Klein, Deborah Anderson, Miguel Reyes, Paul Goebel

In this case, I have to use superlatives. Tony Ward is the sexiest man alive. The self-acclaimed anti model devotes himself completely to a picture. And his body of work is impressive. Every detail of it.

Norwegian Wood

D&G Fall/Winter 2010

I seriously liked D&G. Knitted jumpsuits with Nordic patterns. Furry monster boots. Glitter safety helmets. But maybe it's just the image above that manipulated my subconscious mind.

Militarism

Photos Richard Phibbs

When I was leaving Paris behind and some Bundeswehr soldiers in camouflage uniforms borded the train, I realized I like militarism. In a certain sense.

Imitative Simulacra

Artworks Bruce Sargeant

A body of work dedicated to the athletic body. Torn between realism, magic realism, social realism and surrealism. Statues of implied presence, revived by the rythm of lines and incomplete structures.

2006

Gaspard Yurkievich Spring/Summer 2006

2000 - 2009 is the era of homo-eroticism. The fetish of leather, bondage and short shorts. The man remaining an object of lust. Dressed and undressed.

Innuendo

The new photo diary of beloved Ignazio. Naïve, pink and seductive.

Fresh towels anyone? Or a group shower?

Perfection

Photos Robert Mapplethorpe

The beauty of this artist begins with his name. Just pronounce his name slowly and enjoy the intense interplay of tongue and lips. Then look at these images, sculptured portraits of geometric yet human perfection.
