BEAUTY: Painting--Will Brickel

Hands. Enormous hands. And they are reaching out to touch. The men in Will Brickel's images seem to be yearning for contact, wrapping themselves around each other, all supple and curvy.

"If the hands are wrong, then the whole painting doesn’t work," says thew artist. He says his fixation on hands stems from their ability to "evoke empathy." They certainly do evoke emotion.
