Still Here - Oren Jaffe
48" x 47"
Original mural: Watercolor, colored pencil, gouache on Stonehenge paper on MDO panel
Hanger-free and customizable for any hanging or framing system. Weatherized and suitable for indoor or outdoor display.
Artist Statement: My work deals with issues of queer identity in the context of portraiture using wildlife motifs. I reference art-historical imagery and animal metaphor to celebrate contemporary LGBTQIA people. Since portraiture has historically been a record of what narratives are considered socially valuable, I include queer figures in this format, demanding representation in what we consider "normal" and giving voice to stories worth sharing.
