PAPIS
BY GROSS KRAMER

The Papis are characters created by Gross Kramer, inspired by his attraction to mature, hairy men and non-normative body types within the LGBTQ+ community. They first began as sketches in notebooks using markers and later evolved into canvases, digital works, and mixed media pieces.

They are chubby, hairy, smiling men with a playful and tender energy, celebrating body positivity, desire, and self-acceptance without shame.

Their style combines thick line work, vibrant colours, and a joyful yet adult aesthetic, always focused on freedom of the body and expression.

At their core, the Papis are a universe of pride, humour, and love for real bodies outside conventional beauty standards.
