Work of Peter Skirrow

I know you are wanting more about our visit and Andy's near encounter with is reflection!
Now & Then at the TAP Gallery.

The exhibition provided an intimate retrospective of the bear community and also enables art buyers to pluck out a piece of fur for their collection. There were more than 75 drawings to exhibit, but every work is special for this budding artist. Skirrow said the art describes his emotional relationship with men and is a projection of himself. “I relate to being a bear myself and I like the fact they tend to be more natural about the way they look,” he said. “I portray men in a moving and realistic way. I try to capture moments that are intimate and personal.” Skirrow’s art is bother super sexy and revealing. His favourite piece, an intimate portrait, was created specifically for his partner.“It’s a piece I did of a man sitting in a toilet at a beat and there’s lot of dick action,” Skirrow said.“It’s a talking point because I think a lot of gays can relate to it and put their finger on the point as it’s a place of great intimate pleasure.Some of the work is only appropriate for a personal space. I normally find that if I put a penis in a work it tends to prevent it from being sold.”

As I said the TAP Gallery is a good venue with interesting folk, lovely atmosphere and smooching nooks!
