While Salman Toor’s inspirations stem from 17th and 18th-century art, the works of the much-celebrated Pakistani artist are very much about the now. Centring the modern lives of imaginary brown queer men, the tender, intimate paintings celebrate the vulnerability of men and challenge society’s ideas of masculinity.
