Titan Exclusive Alex Baresi Models the New Mona Lisa?


Australian painter Ross Watson, who’s art style is Old World Classic masters has chosen Titan Men’s Alex Baresi, star of “Fear”, “Folsom Leather” and “Breakers 2 Disc Set”( just to name a few), to be his next art subject. With his chiseled good rugged good looks no wonder why he was chosen to be immortalized in oil.

Artist Watson, who has been featured in numerous international publications and TV shows, has received commissions for his work from celebrities like Elton John and other high profile clients. His works are included in many collections in Australia, U.S. and Great Britain. Watson operates a gallery in Melbourne, Australia.

“Alex is one of the world’s most stunning examples of manhood,” Titan Vice President Keith Webb says. “Not only is he breathtakingly handsome with a physique of a Roman god, he is also incredibly intelligent and holds a doctorate in economics. He is a classic example of beauty, brains and brawn — the perfect match for Ross Watson’s work.”

The painting featuring Baresi is “Untitled #01/08,” rendered in the style of Italian Baroque master Caravaggio, and shows Baresi standing before Caravaggio’s 1602 painting “St. John the Baptist (or Youth with a Ram).”

Limited edition prints of the painting are available, with Giclee edition prints hand-numbered and signed by Watson, printed on archival quality stock.

In addition, 10 percent of the revenue from the sale of the works will go to Baresi’s nominated charity, Munchner AIDS-Hilfe.
