Gabriel Morcillo Raya’s use of light, texture & pose transforms classical Moorish themes into scenes of sensual admiration, where beauty & longing merge. The male figure becomes both subject & object of desire, revealing a subtle yet unmistakable erotic undertone.

While Gabriel Morcillo Raya is known for works reflecting his time in Morocco, he also often portrayed local Spanish townspeople, such as the subject of his painting "El Payaso Cascabel" (The Clown Cascabel).

Gabriel Morcillo Raya was, for a time, appointed as the official portrait painter to King Alfonso XIII of Spain. Although never married, his personal life remains largely private and undocumented, which combined with his long bachelorhood and focus on idealized male subjects has contributed to modern speculation about his sexuality and the homoerotic dimension of his art.

Pierre et Gilles' work is immediately recognizable for its hyper-saturated colors, theatrical staging and kitsch aesthetic. Their unique method involves Pierre taking the photograph and Gilles meticulously painting over the canvas print.

Nice shot! 😊👍 Enjoy your posts on 70's things! That was an era when fashion for guys allowed showing their bodies... among other things. 😉
Btw, I did a 3-part post about a month ago with photos from the NYC gay piers in the 70's. You might appreciate the images if you haven't seen it.

Sì, il suo stile è in qualche modo simile a quello di Balthus.
