In his work, Ataru Sato shows the dualities of life by deeply questioning his own soul and his interactions with the world around him. Life, sex and happiness, but also death, decay and sadness are simultaneously present in his work. #onlinegallery #artcurator #artarchive #queerart #art #gay

Michael Leonard (1933-2023) is one of those artists, acclaimed and somehow mysterious. His name will ring a bell with some people while others will be familiar with his most famous works without knowing who they are by. Many, of course, will know exactly who he is and will be big fans of his work.

In 1989, in Congress, Senator Jesse Helms implored America to “look at the pictures,” while denouncing the controversial art of Mapplethorpe, whose photographs pushed social boundaries with their frank depictions of nudity, sexuality and fetishism – and ignited a culture war that rages to this day.

For Ron Mariñas, art begins in the quiet - in solitude, reflection and everyday moments. His paintings are like pages from a diary, turning ordinary moments into stories. He blends pop and poetry, sensuality and luxury, plus a little tongue in cheek humor to create stunning visual masterpieces.

Eugène Fredrik Jansson was a Swedish painter known for his night-time land and cityscapes dominated by shades of blue. Towards the end of his life, from about 1904, he mainly painted male nudes. The earlier of these phases has caused him to sometimes be referred to as blåmålaren, “the blue-painter”.
