Felix D'Eon ****

The online gallery of the Mexican artist Felix D’Eon is quite varied technically, showing paintings, drawings, watercolours, quick sketches and pen-and-ink illustrations sorted into a plethora of themed galleries. All is very good, and all shows variations on the themes of the male nude and gay love, with D’Eon’s charming personal touch. Although almost all of the artworks are quite engaging, what I fell for was his pen-and-ink drawings. Called «illustrations» throughout the many theme-galleries, they are in a charming style reminding of old British school books. But what a school that would be! Frolicking naked boys, kissing, running through the surf, flying to the heavens on the wings of gay love. The erotic motives contrasts interestingly with the child-oriented style, resulting in original and memorable works of art.
I rate Felix D’Eons online gallery four out of six stars. The gallery is well worth a visit, you find it here.
