Yatrofsky’s waif-like men—merely boys just a few years ago—pose in the intimacy of their own homes in and around New York City in this new series of photographic works published by Powerhouse. With subjects sporting the occasional tattoo and a bit of punk swagger to match their youthful naiveté, with nods to Larry Clark and the ’80s underground music scene, Yatrofsky’s aesthetic is appreciated by the likes of designer Hedi Slimane, American Apparel, and the most popular indie bands from New York, L.A., London, Paris, and Berlin. This is the undressed and carefree look of today’s male urban trendsetter—whose style trickles out of the young, creative circles in cities, only to be copied elsewhere tomorrow. With an erotic softness and quiet confidence, the young, often nude subjects in I Heart Boy exhibit a willingness to be celebrated by all for their beauty and openness.
Book signing for new monograph,IHeartBoy, and a special screening of, I Heart Boy – The Screen Tests, this Thursday March 3rd from 6pm – 8pm at Parsons The New School.
