We first learned of Israel-based artist Adi Nes when his exhibition The Village came to the Jack Shainman Gallery in New York City a few years ago. As a gay man, Nes has always felt like a stranger in the mainstream Israeli culture yet he chooses to work by creating visual narratives in his home country. Nes has become an established force in the art community in the United States, known for his provocative and deeply moving images addressing issues of Israeli masculine identity.

Artsy, fartsy.

If there’s no other reason to support Israel, we must do so because they keep on producing the most amazingly hot men. That, and it’s the only place in the region that is gay-friendly (über gay-friendly at that!).

Hmmm, I really don’t quite get them.

@sfbeast: A lot of thing you don`t get!. Israeli, men are, so far hotter then the American men.
