Description

Jack Rose begins his apprenticeship as a rent boy with Alfred Taylor in the1890s, and discovers a life of pleasure and excess that leads him to newfriendships, most notably with the soon-to-be infamous Oscar Wilde. A century later, David tells his own tale of unashamed decadence whilewaiting to be released from prison, addressing his story to the lover whobetrayed him.

Where their paths cross, in the politically sensitive 1950swhen gay men were the target of police and politicians alike, artist Colintentatively explores his sexuality as he draws in preparation for his mostambitious painting yet-`London Triptych'. Moodily atmospheric and rich with history, London Triptych is a sexy,resplendent portrait of the politics and pleasures of queer life in one of theworld's most fascinating cities.
