Well, this project has the somewhat unique opportunity to reuse localizations from an existing program, Though the gallery was “above-grade,” cops showed up anyway. Ever the smooth-talker, Leslie greeted them: “Oh hello, officers, are you here to see the show?” The police tried in vain to convince Leslie not to hang the paintings on the walls. “They were so clumsy, they didn’t know what they were doing,” Leslie said. At the end of it, “the police couldn’t do anything. It was painting!” This image was shot while I was attending an artist residency in Iceland in April 2019, where I created imagery that looks at the correlation between Icelandic folklore of Huldufólk (“Hidden people”) and my body as a nonbinary person, both visible and invisible. The self-portraits were shot in the landscape with its shifting tectonic plates, heavy winds, and constant state of change. Furthermore, these images explore the idea of a trans body as a natural body, becoming one with nature, both always in flux. Pride means being anti-racist; it means fighting for all humans’ safety and equal rights, all genders and sexualities, and not stopping until we achieve that. I think it’s a lifetime commitment to doing that work.
It has been said that all work to some degree is self-portraiture. Though mine is a less literal or indirect representation, I often include personal items or objects such as bed sheets or vases in my work. I consider these objects of everyday life to be a sort of stand-in for the figure or the self. We Were Gonna Be Alright was made in the midst of the anxiety I was feeling as a queer Latinx person during the previous administration. I was extremely worried about our community and the uncertain future we were facing in regards to our freedom to love and marry. Earlier this year, the pair was commissioned to paint a Pride mural on the Santa Monica Pier—their largest exterior paint project to date—and Clare helped them get the job done. (Hint: they used a product we’re launching soon—can you guess what it is?) “We wanted to create something that was joyous yet impactful,” Nicholas says. “Not just a run-of-the-mill rainbow walkway.”I don’t ordinarily ask the creatives I interview which design trends are gay. In fact, I would have guessed questions like that are offensive. But when talking to Nicholas Scheppard and Jenson Titus, Founders, Co-Owners, and comedians who paint at Very Gay Paint, it feels like the right thing to do. We have an exciting 'Pride on LIVE' lineup scheduled for Monday, June 12, that will highlight some of our most innovative queer creators. The programming will be live-streamed from our @tiktoklive_us account and will feature conversations with creators surrounding their career and LGBTQIA+ representation across the creative industry. Be sure to follow @tiktok and @tiktoklive_us for more info on our 'Pride on LIVE' lineup! And if your date has a problem with the color of your genitals after getting close enough to see them, it probably wasn't going to work out anyway. jonkung(he/they)(Detroit, MI) - Jonathan Kung teaches people not only how to cook, but also how to express their cultures and personalities in their food. Jon combines their passion for food and authenticity in their videos on TikTok and encourages people to embrace their heritage, passion, and pride. The brand is inherently playful and silly, and Nicholas and Jenson have enjoyed the confidence that comes with bringing their talents to a new audience. Their previous work has been well-received at comedy or stand-up shows, but the concept for two gay men who paint things in a very gay way is nothing the interior design and art world has really ever seen before. People haven’t been able to get enough of them.
Looking ahead, the duo hopes to continue to make meaningful paint murals that change the way people look at both art and comedy. “ Very Gay Paint gives us a new way to focus on performance art that still feels nostalgic,” Jenson says. “But our first love will always be comedy.”At TikTok, we're committed to amplifying the voices of our diverse community of LGBTQIA+ creators as they reach new audiences, build careers, and drive a positive impact on TikTok. This June, join us as we celebrate Pride and our LGBTQIA+ community through a series of in-app initiatives, LIVE events, and special programming themed around hashtags including: #ForYourPride, #PrideAnthems, and #LGBTQBusiness. Jean-Michel Basquiat (French: [ʒɑ̃ miʃɛl baskija]; December 22, 1960 – August 12, 1988) was an American artist of Haitian and Puerto Rican descent. Basquiat first achieved fame as part of SAMO, an informal graffiti duo who wrote enigmatic epigrams in the cultural hotbed of the Lower East Side of Manhattan during the late 1970s, where rap, punk, and street art coalesced into early hip-hop music culture. By the 1980s, his neo-expressionist paintings were being exhibited in galleries and museums internationally. The Whitney Museum of American Art held a retrospective of his art in 1992.

So much representation in media has been so intense,” Jenson said. “Gay films are always very intense, like about AIDS, or there’s Queer Eye. But you don’t get to see this down-to-earth view of gay people poking fun of themselves.” Frida Kahlo (Spanish pronunciation: [ˈfɾiða ˈkalo]; born Magdalena Carmen Frida Kahlo y Calderón; 6 July 1907 – 13 July 1954) was a Mexican painter known for her many portraits, self-portraits, and works inspired by the nature and artifacts of Mexico. Inspired by the country's popular culture, she employed a naïve folk art style to explore questions of identity, postcolonialism, gender, class, and race in Mexican society. Her paintings often had strong autobiographical elements and mixed realism with fantasy. In addition to belonging to the post-revolutionary Mexicayotl movement, which sought to define a Mexican identity, Kahlo has been described as a surrealist or magical realist.Born to a German father and a mestiza mother, Kahlo spent most of her childhood and adult life at La Casa Azul, her family home in Coyoacán, now publicly accessible as the Frida Kahlo Museum. Although she was disabled by polio as a child, Kahlo had been a promising student headed for medical school until a traffic accident at age eighteen, which caused her lifelong pain and medical problems. During her recovery, she returned to her childhood hobby of art with the idea of becoming an artist.
