In this episode of the Unapologaytic podcast, host Pierre engages with painter Dan Swan @danswanart | danswanart.com to explore his representation of the male body in art. 

Dan shares the aesthetic inspirations behind his work and the natural beauty and seduction of the male form. The conversation delves into societal attitudes and censorship towards male nudes, contrasts with the accepted portrayal of female nudes, and the influence of iconic artists like Tom of Finland. 

They discuss the impacts of Dan's art on traditional masculinity, including depicting queer and transsexual identities, as well as the stigma against straight men appreciating male beauty. 

The discussion touches on the challenges of posing for nude art, painting from live models versus photos, and where Dan's work can be found on platforms like Instagram and exhibitions in Brighton. 

Dan emphasises the importance of being unapologetic and encourages self-acceptance and celebration of the male form.
