Robert Horvath: “White Gold”

Artist Robert Horvath has a fascination with Rococo porcelain. His works incorporate homoerotic imagery into the Rococo style, transforming it into a contemporary idiom. Horvath captures figures of gay porn in the throes of ecstasy. He places the miniaturized “actors” into the porcelain ornament, for a precisely controlled and filigreed still life with figures, upon a background of set pattern with abstract elements. Over the top, glossy and self-absorbed, porn stars are not unlike the dandies and elegant characters of the Rococo.
