A stylistic precursor of such artists as Pierre et Gilles and David LaChapelle, James Bidgood revolutionized gay male erotic imagery. From a cramped Hell’s Kitchen tenement apartment during the 1960s, the artist produced the bulk of his creative output of photographs. The artist was the first to take the pulp and glamour aesthetic of the 1940s and 1950s and apply it to male erotic fantasies: employing vibrant colors and exaggerated props and costumes to celebrate homosexuality and the male form in an explosion of colorful eroticism that has stood the test of time.

James Bidgood
One of the quintessential creators of homoerotic imagery, filmmaker and photographer James Bidgood produces unique and instantly recognizable works infused with a vividly colorful sense of fantasy and theatricality. Drawing on his background as a dressmaker, costume designer, and drag performer, Bidgood conjures the exotic world of his photographs from scratch, creating works with a heightened artificiality and high camp sensibility. In Bidgood’s photographs, naked or scantily clad young men, often covered in a glistening sheen of Vaseline, pose in lurid landscapes of the imagination while draped over beds or in fields of flowers and dressed as glittering matadors or pointy-eared fauns. Combining vibrant colors, dramatic lighting, and baroque sets, his photographs bring to life a feverish, dreamlike fantasy world one step removed from reality. He has become a major influence on figures such as David LaChapelle and Pierre et Gilles. Estate represented by CLAMP in New York City.

Luke Smalley was an American artist known for his photographic work, which pairs a coolly minimalist aesthetic with a retro nostalgia. Images from his early in his career were inspired by fitness manuals and yearbooks c. 1910. This is not surprising since Smalley graduated with a degree in sports medicine from Pepperdine University and worked for a number of years as a model and personal trainer. Smalley shot the bulk of his photographs in his home state of Pennsylvania, using real high school athletes as models.
“Exercise at Home” is Luke Smalley’s second major body of work. Shot in and around the tiny Pennsylvania town the artist called home, Smalley revisits themes of adolescent growing pains acted out under the guise of earnest athleticism. Teenagers engage in simple yet strange competitions meant to establish their standings amongst one another. Two youths practice boating safety...
