Using Photoshop, Centaurus starts with an original painting, often an old master, then plucks out the female figures and inserts the image of a male, thereby creating a scene for like-minded men.
Altered Version of "Adirondacks" by Homer
Few have mastered so imaginatively this form of art on Photoshop. See more of his work at Gay Art Parodies.
A variation of "Ball at Moulin del LaBalatte" by Renoir
Centaurus divides his work into three categories: 1.Male nude replacing Female in Famous Paintings; 2.Male nude added to Famous Paintings; 3. Fantasy Photos — Created by merging several images.
Variation of "Woman at Window" by Dali
Thinking images of the female nude in the history of art have been ubiquitous, Centaurus began creating what he called “Gender Bent” paintings.

James Huctwith lives and work in downtown Toronto. Born in 1967, he was raised in rural Southern Ontario. He attended Cayuga Secondary School from 1981 until 1986, graduating with honours from Grade Thirteen. Afterwards, he studied fine art for three years at the University of Guelph, primarily interested in theory, history and architecture – citing professors Suzy Lake and Margaret Priest as influences.
After this, he lived in Vancouver in the early ‘90’s where he first began to paint and exhibit. Returning to Toronto in 1995, he began producing and exhibiting professionally with the O’Connor Gallery. He was with the gallery for a decade, crediting the encouragement and support of the then proprietor, Dennis O’Connor, as “rare, invaluable and crucial to my ability to develop.”
The next three years were marked by personal difficulty and marked changes. In the spring of 2005, Huctwith joined Gallery Jones in Vancouver for two years, and produced a run of ‘cooled-out’ non-figurative works, in contrast to the O’Connor shows which had been physically and emotionally explicit. Huctwith left O’Connor and joined Galerie Harwood near Montreal, also for two years, starting in 2006. The work produced for this gallery was marked primarily by considered re-interpretations of the still life genre.
Feeling it was time to regroup and rediscover where he wanted to go with the work, Huctwith moved all his work back to Ontario, placing past work with Antonio Arch Fine Arts Ltd. in Toronto, and signing up with Galerie La Petite Mort in Ottawa. His first show there, in the fall of 2009, was a success.
