Description Photo art by ArtGraeco from the Histoires D'Hommes seriesHistoires D'Hommes confronts policing of male sexuality in art and appropriates pornography as a creative platform through mostly erotic, highly suggestive, somewhat explicit, barely hardcore gay porn imagery. It is neither the first nor last time art slips into the land of pornography or vice versa. The line between art and pornography is consistently blurred anyway; my art certainly doesn't shy away from the male nude form as it is. With Histoires D'Hommes don't intend to challenge the fine line between art and porn, push the envelope, none of that. I intend to elicit appreciation rather than arousal. I explore erotic depictions of the male nude, catching an ideal lovers moment, capturing a passionate feeling, a deep longing.
