Rotund Diva,
Stephen Doherty 2011

In his first series of drawings, 'Sauna Faces', Doherty has created a series of illustrated characters whom he imagines as a mixture of regulars, one offs, or first timers at a gay sauna. While some are based on people he has met, others are constructs of what Doherty imagines must be commonly shared feelings among sauna-goers. Lonely, lovelorn, unlucky, messed-up, his drawings trace the lines of psychological tragedy and desire that overspread the faces of men who are constantly looking, and being looked at, on the prowl, yet unmistakably vulnerable and lost.
