Saint Sagat

Saint Sagat

Australian artist Ross Watson said he was motivated by the Vatican’s position on homosexuality and its ban on condom use to create a painting which references Caravaggio’s Crucifixion of St Peter, and features French gay porn icon François Sagat. German publishers Bruno Gmunder will soon release a book featuring Watson’s art from the past 20 years in recognition of his significance as an artist and contemporary cultural commentator. Gay diver Matthew Mitcham and former High Court judge Michael Kirby have also featured in Watson’s works.
