Gold’s Gym — Mark Short, 2025
Archival pigment print
Edition of 25 per size
Printed on Hahnemühle paper
Original artwork by Mark Short. Artwork © Mark Short / After Hours Art Editions.
A study in strength, spectacle, and self-display, Gold’s Gym captures the charged intersection of body culture and queer iconography. The subject lifts his shirt in a gesture that is at once casual and deliberate — revealing the physique beneath a mass-produced emblem of masculine ideal. Shot with direct flash against a stark field, the image oscillates between documentary realism and constructed performance. It is both portrait and artifact: a contemporary relic of gym culture, desire, and visibility.
After Hours Art Editions publishes limited-edition prints for collectors drawn to mood, intimacy, and the charged space between art and desire.
