USA-based artist Max Colby

Balaclava.Q Tactic 1: Obscuring the face.

"Colby’s recent work speaks to the production and performance of gender through patriarchal masculinity by responding to 20th century American homosexual pornography. Through series of paintings, embroideries and beadings, images and representations are cloaked in garish and opulent florals. Floral designs censor the image and simultaneously expand its reach. The work is a result of rigorous collection and analysis of material..."
