Youth in Pink Print

This stimulating artwork celebrates the beauty of male youth in a spectacular, sophisticated manner. Inspired by classical painting and expressionist woodcuts, this linocut embraces of theatrical posing, sexy exhibitionism and emotional sensuality in a marvelous psychedelic framework. This linocut oscillates between the homoerotic gaze and hedonistic pleasure. This artwork has been created by Dr. Gilad Padva, one of the prominent contemporary scholars in cinema studies, popular culture, men's studies and queer theory. In addition to his revealing, timely art, Dr. Padva is the author of Queer Nostalgia in Cinema and Pop Culture (2014) and Straight Skin, Gay Masks, and Pretending to Be Gay on Screen (Routledge, 2020) and co-editor of Sensational Pleasures in Cinema, Literature and Visual Culture (2014), Intimate Relationships in Cinema, Literature and Visual Culture: The Phallic Eye (2017), and Leisure and Cultural Change in Israeli Society (Routledge, 2020). Gilad Padva genuinely exposes his most intimate feelings in this remarkable artwork!
