You Oughta Be In Pictures

Titan man Alex Baresi is the subject of a new painting by world renowned Australian artist Ross Watson. As a respectable (ahem) art critic, I adore his talent and technical abilities, but I would think the artist could have done something more with this series. Okay, it’s a clever idea to put an image of a contemporary homoerotic male model into a classic painting, but I think he missed an opportunity to integrate the two images together better. They just look like a quickie cut-and-paste job. Just my opinion, but I gotta give him props for the craftsmanship. See more at lavenderlounge.com.
