I <3 LA

LOS ANGELES CA | Queer art has long been shaped by rebellion, evolving subversive movements and individual impertinence. Since the 1960s, queer artists have consistently redefined creative boundaries by transforming common objects and uncommon relationships into iconic images and cultural redefinitions. These artists have been expanding the role and meaning of the queer body by pumping it with agency, power, and unbranded style across numerous art forms.

I <3 LA is a group exhibition of contemporary queer art. It is a gratitude letter, authored to acknowledge the historical, political lineage and creative influences emerging out of shared kinship. While the exhibition highlights explorations of sexuality and gender, its primary goal is to showcase the diversity and resilience of queer artists. These chosen paintings, sculptures and photographs compellingly interpret and help visually showcase important aspects of gay experiences.

Opening on the eve of WeHo Pride, the exhibition is a celebration of queer art and artists amidst one of the largest Pride gatherings in the country. These artworks contribute to society’s narrative about who we are as people while continuing the fight against erasure and exclusion.
