Bar Boy
2019
A richly atmospheric bar scene bathed in an otherworldly green light, featuring a solitary central figure in a wide-brimmed hat looking at a phone amid a crowd of socializing figures. Painted in a gestural, expressionist style reminiscent of Toulouse-Lautrec and Sickert, the work channels queer nightlife with warmth and melancholy. Toor's signature palette of emerald and teal tones creates a dreamlike, almost theatrical ambiance. A highly sought example from the artist's celebrated figurative practice, represented by Luhring Augustine, New York.
