The question in the title is the whole painting: two men in a park, watching, and the specific charge that watching carries in queer public space — the uncertainty about whether a glance is what you think it is, the calculation involved in holding someone's gaze. Gavin Dobson has described being gay as spending a lot of time watching: often not knowing if the stranger in the distance is gay let alone interested, and the risky game of trying to find out. Is He Looking? captures that specific tension in paint — not as a narrative but as a moment, the two figures in the park and the question hanging between them. Oil on board, wooden tray frame, signed. £450.
