Australian painter Ross Watson sends a message to Vatican by crucifying gay porn star Francois Sagat
.
.
Watson said about his new work:
"I was motivated by the Vatican's position on homosexuality, and its ban on condom use, to create a painting which references Caravaggio's 'Crucifiction of St Peter', and features French gay porn icon, Francois Sagat".
.
"Francois Sagat continues to play a valuable role in the area of HIV/AIDS prevention and education. I wanted to acknowledge that in the painting, whilst tying it to the Vatican," comments Watson.
