Tim Patch, professionally known by the moniker Pricasso, is an Australian artist who has gained fame for using his penis, scrotum and buttocks to paint portraits, landscapes and female nudes.

Heading 1

Pricasso is a father of four, and studied furniture design after he failed to gain admission in a fine arts course, after which he spent most of his professional life as a builder.[1][2]

After seeing Puppetry of the Penis some weeks before, he was in the mens bathroom when he had the idea of sliding his penis across the dry stainless steel urinal and made a smiley face. When he got home he tried doing the same but with paint. Pricasso told Fala Fil that he could see himself getting paid to create art if he was able to get better and quicker, and liked the idea of being paid for doing the three things he liked most: creating art, being naked and holding his penis, but that he would also have to learn to control the gaining of an erection.[3]

According to Pricasso, he is a direct descendant of 18th-century English artist and caricaturist Thomas Patch.[4]

Pricasso makes his own water-based paints and does not suffer from any erectile dysfunction or infections.Cite error: Invalid <ref> tag; refs with no name must have content Before he begins painting he covers his penis and buttocks in Vaseline in order to work for several hours without causing irritation to his skin.[5]

Works and appearances

Pricasso is a mainstay at Sexpo exhibitions in Australia and South Africa, where he paints portraits for attendees in 20 minutes.[6] His appearance at the 2010 Expo Sexo y Entretenimiento México was cancelled after censors from the Mexico City authorities attended the exposition to verify the shows.Cite error: Invalid <ref> tag; refs with no name must have content

In 2008, Pricasso entered a self-portrait into the prestigious Archibald Prize. The self-portrait depicted Pricasso in the nude, wearing only a hat, and holding a canvass which concealed his brush. The 2008 submission came after an unsuccessful entry in the 2007 competition of a portrait of plastic surgeon Joseph Georghy.Cite error: Invalid <ref> tag; refs with no name must have contentCite error: Invalid <ref> tag; refs with no name must have content[6] On his submissions for the Archibald Prize, the Sydney Morning Herald quoted Pricasso as saying "It's just people's perception of what's good and what's not. I can usually get a pretty good likeness, but I guess I am breaking the boundaries a bit."[6]

Pricasso told Fala Fil that although it is difficult to have famous people sit for a portrait, he has done private sittings with celebrities on the proviso that he not talk to the press about it or take photographs, but mentioned Charlie Murphy as one celebrity whom was ok with it.[3] Amongst the celebrities he has painted portraits of are Hugh Hefner, John Howard, Kim Beazley, George W. Bush, Robert Mugabe, Barack Obama, Jacob Zuma, Queen Elizabeth II, Kevin Rudd, Tony Blair, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, Cite error: Invalid <ref> tag; refs with no name must have content[7][2]Cite error: Invalid <ref> tag; refs with no name must have content[3]

Heading 3

Nicholas Chare writes that "thick accretions of oil would seem obvious signals of masculinity", given that some impressionists and post-impressionists described their paint as semen. Chare notes that Pierre Auguste Renoir infamously told his son that he painted with his penis, and Vincent van Gogh described his paintings as seminal. Chare recalls a letter from van Gogh to Émile Bernard, in which the Dutch artist advises the Frenchman "eat a lot, do your military exercises well, don't fuck too much; when you do this your paintings will be all the more spermatic". He further argues that the act of applying paint to canvas is "charged with sexual connotations", and these connotations have been carried over to contemporary art by Pricasso.Cite error: Invalid <ref> tag; refs with no name must have content

In the lead-up to the 2008 Sexpo in Cape Town, Pricasso published a video online showing his creating a painting of then-Mayor of Cape Town Helen Zille. Pricasso stated that the painting was not meant to insult or embarrass Zille. The Times reported that two art galleries in Johannesburg declined to associate themselves with Pricasso's artwork, but the curator of Moja Modern gallery stated that whilst at the time Pricasso's artworks might be seen as silly or funny, in fifty years time Pricasso may be seen to have broken boundaries in art. Julia Charlton, the senior curator of the Wits Gallery, said that one should not be asking whether it is art, but "is it good art". Charlton also stated that it does not matter what body part was used to paint with, and also continued to say that "art is not only meant to be pleasant, but provocative, and it should get people talking." Pieter van Heerden, the director of the Pretoria Art Institute, reiterated the point that it should not matter what body part was used to create the works, and that if painting with ones penis enhances the work, then so be it. van Heerden also stated that it is not offensive, but works only become art when they are great.Cite error: Invalid <ref> tag; refs with no name must have content

In November 2011, Pricasso participated in the Gold Coast Sculptors' Society Exotic Erotic show. That Pricasso uses his penis to paint with caused some furore within the Society; several members objected and one member resigned in protest. Rejecting criticism of his works not being art, Pricasso hit back saying ""I think I'm just as good as anyone with a brush and I'm probably a lot quicker...They can complain if they want to but other people love it."Cite error: Invalid <ref> tag; refs with no name must have content
