Gay Porn Star Francois Sagat, Crucified


FRANCOIS SAGAT X390 (SOURCE DAILY TUBE) | ADVOCATE.COM

Australian painter Ross Watson has recruited gay porn star and HIV-prevention activist Francois Sagat for his latest piece — a painting of Sagat being crucified.

"I was motivated by the Vatican's position on homosexuality, and its ban on condom use, to create a painting which references Caravaggio's 'Crucifiction of St Peter,’" Watson said of his painting. "Francois Sagat continues to play a valuable role in the area of HIV/AIDS prevention and education. I wanted to acknowledge that in the painting, whilst tying it to the Vatican."

Check out the painting on Towleroad.

    I wonder if the spelling in 'Crucifiction of St Peter’ is a joke ...??

    And, Barry, what a pithy comment. Is it supposed to refer to your own mental state?

    I thought the painting was quite nice. The artist does make a bit of a point in that most of the great artists used models whose personal reputations were hardly as sacrosanct as the subjects they portrayed; I could see a modern-day Caravaggio or Michelangelo basing their "sacred" paintings and sculptures on the images of porn stars (as well as more mainstream entertainers).
