The fine art photography of French artist Partick Gerbier seems at first to fall into the classical, "tasteful" niche of gay photography. Row upon row of photos of nude, muscular men that are graphically arranged in a photographic studio, shadow and light playing gracefully in black & white over their clean-shaved surfaces. Quite well done actually, but oh so traditional. But this is not all the truth about Gerbier's varied portfolio. His earlier work is a large series of mixed-media work, or to be more precise: painted photographs, where the artist in an expressionistic and original way seems to explore various facets of male energy and character. Well wort a visit!

I rate the gallery 4 out of 6 stars.
