Bedroom Boy 2019

Salman Toor's "Bedroom Boy" (2019) is a striking portrait of a young man lying in bed. The painting's style, reminiscent of the expressive brushwork of the Impressionists, uses thick, visible strokes to convey the texture of the sheets and the subject's skin. The figure, depicted nude, appears to be resting, with a laptop on a nearby table. This juxtaposition of contemporary technology and traditional art style creates a powerful commentary on modern life. Toor, known for his portrayals of LGBTQ+ life, captures the intimate and vulnerable moment with a poignant honesty.
