A Mind of Its Own Print

This strikingly revealing artwork celebrates the beauty of male nude in a spectacular, sophisticated manner. Inspired by classical painting and expressionist woodcuts, this woodcut embraces voluptuous exhibitionism, self indulgence, unruly hedonism, and perilous voyeuristic sexiness. Each print of this woodcut is hand printed on paper and separately numbered, so each one is a unique experience, a bit different which adds to its allure. 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!
