In our culture, the physical sense of manliness is central to the cultural interpretation of gender. Masculine gender is a certain feel to the skin, certain muscular shapes and tensions, certain postures and ways of moving.
In his contemporary painting, artist Gerry Parke questions ideas of masculinity by presenting well known figures, such as Michelangelo's David, the epitome of physical male and artist perfection, in a street art style.
