William Krüg
La-La Tempesta - Modern Interpretation of Giorgione's Renaissance Painting

2018

About the Item

Lamenting the lack of clear queer imagery in Renaissance painting I decided to paint a Gay version of "La Tempesta" by Giorgione. The small creature in the foreground is facially expressing "kiss off if you don't like it." There's an Albrecht Durer tree and a lewdly leering herm from Tiepolo. Since I painted this the ever entertaining and brilliant Waldemar Januszczak has explained the myth that inspired Giorgione's painting. This painting is framed in an ornate black wooden frame with a gold insert measuring 23.5 x 23.5 inches. William Krüg La-La Tempesta oil on panel 14h x 14w in 35.56h x 35.56w cm WKR003

  • A Quiet Line - Intimate Painting of Two Nude Torsos, Original Oil on Panel
    By Rick Sindt
    Located in Chicago, IL
    Using pornography as a vehicle for understanding, Rick Sindt's work explores the discovery and development of queer attraction. Sindt transforms pornographic stills, repurposing them into images of intimacy. Rick Sindt A Quiet Line oil on panel 8h x 8w x 0.50d in 20.32h x 20.32w x 1.27d cm RIS034 “This body of work has been crystalizing in my mind for about five years,” says Sindt, “It is the product of reflecting on how the places I learned the most about myself, and my desires, are considered something that sullies a person, something taboo.” Focused on the experiences of gay men, this body of oil paintings depicts moments that range from tender touches to more sexually explicit acts. “It was important to me that I only represent what I know,” explains Sindt, “I identify as a man, and I am attracted to others who identify as men. I don’t believe it is my place to speak on behalf of other members of the queer community whose experiences I am unfamiliar with.” “In creating this work, I spoke with men who told me about how they hid magazines when they were a kid, took out P.O. Boxes in their small hometowns to protect their privacy, and learned how to cover their tracks on the internet. These secretive acts become necessary when the need to understand yourself is great, but your world is bereft of representation."
