Ross Watson: Homines Uniformis

Off Duty Swim

'Ross Watson's paintings are obviously the work of a master of technique. The conjunction of modern naturalism and classic works makes it hard to believe one's eyes.'
Sir Ian McKellen


It was back in 2007 when I first discovered the work of Australian artist Ross Watson.  I was searching for shots of Australian Football League player Paul Licuria and came across a series of paintings by Ross which featured the AFL player and his incredible physique.

The Gaze of Adonis

I immediately fell in love with Watson's vibrant and color images of incredibly hot men.  I loved Watson's fantasy, dream like approach and the various other themes he incorporates within his work.  In addition to elements of fantasy, Watson's images feature men in uniform, men out of uniform, cmnm scenario's, strong, confident and sexual men, and also magnificent moments of erotic vulnerability.
