The Green Bar 2018

Salman Toor's "The Green Bar" (2018) is an oil painting featuring a group of figures, primarily focused on two men embracing. Toor’s work often explores themes of masculinity, queerness, and social dynamics, often depicted in intimate settings like bars and restaurants. The painting’s bold colors and gestural brushstrokes convey a sense of energy and emotion, characteristic of Toor’s contemporary figurative style. The title and green background create an ambiguous context, leaving the viewer to interpret the scene and the characters’ relationships.
