About Merton Parrish as Artist...
Merton is a writer and artist living in the midwestern USA. He lives with his partner of eight years (and their faithful dog!). He paints on the themes of M4M life and Priapian Spirituality. His works celebrate all things male, and focus on m4m sexuality, sensuality, spirituality, and ecstasy. In realistic and symbolic styles, Merton brings to life the inner thoughts, fantasies and ideals of gay, bi, and straight m4m men through brilliant color and unrestrained themes. In his work, he speaks to the ecstatic joy that m4m contact and Priapian worship engender.
Who are these paintings for?...
These paintings are for all men who experience, dream of, or fantasize about m4m life. They are painted in honor of Priapus, who is an ancient and wonderful manifestation of the Divine. Whether we know it or not, Priapus, as metaphor and real presence is present in all, if we will but notice. He represents creativity, abundance, protection, good fortune, ecstacy, and wholeness, circumvention of violence and evil, and release of negativity. Oh how we need these things!
Admiring ladies are welcome to appreciate the work of Merton Parrish, as well. :)

| 关于此艺术家 |
About the works of Merton Parrish...
The works seek to convey the truth that the good things mentioned above spring forth from that "root" that is in all of us, that very creative center, which makes itself felt so vividly in our sexuality. Our sexuality is not separate from us, but right at the very center of our being. When we connect with this root of our being, and connect with our brothers, we are (whether we are being playful, sexy, role playing, deeply intimate) worshipping! Sex, whether with our partners or playmates, is not bad or shameful. To the contrary, it is ecstatic, joyful, and holy!
These works represent a great "aha!" or epiphany for us!...
Sexuality and spirituality are not separate from each other, and they are not separate from us. We are not separate from each other, our world, or the Divine. This, to Merton is the sunny, happy, ecstatic, joyful truth of Priapian worship, of life, of God. This is why we came here. (Think of the implications of this. To know this changes us, and since we are all connected, it changes the world too! ) To realize this connection wholeness and unity is so freeing and beautiful... and m4m life and Priapian worship is such a wonderful path toward this new freedom of body, mind and spirit. The paintings of Merton Parrish seek to capture and convey these ideas, this new paradigm.
About the medium...
Merton paints in oil on recycled materials. Foamcore, cardboard, painted over prints, painted over canvases, posterboard... all sorts of materials are used to paint upon. This is inherent in buying a painting. Therefore, there are at times imperfections which you may notice when you receive your painting. A corner might be imperfect. There might be some creases in places. Sizes may be odd, and pieces may not be entirely square. But, the painting as a whole will be an original work of art, colorful, beautiful, and a special gift to you. It is hoped that you will see this as environmentally sound and a joy, in that old worn out material is given a new life. Paintings are unframed (i.e. ready for you to frame). |

This winged, male, angelic figure holds the world in his hands. He is a metaphor for the fact that when we are in touch with our inner essence and are true to ourselves, then all aspects of ourselves (temporal, spiritual, sexual) are protected and integrated. |
