Phallic Aversion: Constructed Privacy Painting

With my "Phallic Aversion" series I've been working around the question of male nudity in modern culture. On a recent trip to Bruges, Belgium I toured the Groeninge Museum and I became interested in the Flemish primitive triptychs as a form of display. Their exterior paintings are devoid of colour and represent an everyday face to the work, but their interiors are fantastically rich. Following their lead, I developed a triptych of five panels and built a mahogany case. The exterior is an everyday suitable, androgynous figure in gold and black. The interior, a celebration of the male figure in rich purples, gold and yellows, features two male torsos flanking a male nude from behind. Intended to allow my art to be placed in any home, the owner of a triptych can choose who sees their real passion and who is given a more cursory glance. Any of my paintings can be purchased and for an additional cost of $1,250 converted into a 5 panel triptych. The cost includes the additional paintings for the exterior and interior panels and a custom built mahogany case. Please contact me and I will relist the painting you request as a triptych to complete the sale.
