Lukasz Lesnik

Lukasz Lesnik is a Polish artist that mainly works in painting and sculpture. Through these mediums, Lesnik explores themes of gender, homosexuality, and intimate emotion. A common theme in his work is the involvement in queer culture and his lived experiences as a gay man. The artist employs oil and acrylic paints to create an erotic landscape of the male body. These erotic paintings are visually arresting and direct works, unshrouded by myth or fantasy, they are rooted in the now, questioning the nuances between art and pornography. The composition of the artworks removes any personal characteristic and highlights the topic by focusing on the act of sex rather than the feelings associated with it. However, the artists goal is to leave room for interpretation and allow viewers to create their own meanings and understandings of each piece.
