Hold Me Print

Part of my Beautiful Men series that capture the subtleties of the male form through strong control of both the subject and the composition. I want to show the strength of men through a soft light, hence my use of soft conte contrasted with a sharp darkness. A comment on how men are expected to be strong and stiff, not unlike a tree, when in truth they are just as beautiful and capable of delicacies just like the women that art usually has as the subject. Hold Me is a favorite and is inspired from the statues of old, such as famous statue of 'The Rape of Persephone'. The hardness of stone is worked to emulate soft flesh, and with this piece I wanted to have a look that followed in those steps. It is a joy to take something seemingly cold and hard, and giving it a soft give that you can nearly feel yourself. The man in the subject is strong, yet holds himself in a vulnerable pose, inviting you to come and comfort him.
