Playing Picasso
2022, oil on canvas, 70,8 x 78,7 in (180 x 200 cm)
Three men “playing the scene” of Picassos Painting Nus Masculins (Les trios âges de l’homme) which can also be found as a copy in this work, pinned to the wooden door underneath a b/w wood print of reptiles.
The scene was staged with three models at the artists studio. Proportions similar to Picassos painting subdivide the canvas; yet Picassos window behind the flute playing young man is a landscape painting here quoting the work “Manuel Antonio” (see section LANDSCAPES).

2020, oil on canvas, 78,7 x 59 in (200 x 150 cm)
From the early 1990ies until the start of Covid 19 pandemic in 2019 the depicted scene would be a pretty “common” end of a night for gay men in Berlin. After party and before returning home, one’d easily make the acquaintance of a host - either on social media or at the street - who’d invite for sex at his home with others. Thus, the open door and the late arriving guest (Fausto’s self portrait) while the sex-party seems to be in full swing are as much part of the game as are the basic interior or the poorly lighted kitchen serving as playground.
