As a young closeted gay child growing up in the prairies of Saskatchewan, life was exceedingly difficult. I couldn’t wait to move into the big city of Toronto to begin my years of study. Homosexuality was a sin, and one would go to Hell, eternal Hell where the fiery pits would render your Soul into an endless oblivion of pain and suffering. I remember hearing a saying “If I die and go to Hell, there’s going to be a lot of gay men around”. This painting reminds me of that saying, where men in all their glory are parading around in the flesh.

Norm Yip (葉灃) was born in Canada in 1963 by Chinese parents. After studying fine art in Saskatchewan and architecture in Toronto, he moved to Hong Kong where began working as an architect. In 1999, he decided to transition into fine art and photography, following his deeper passion into his personal interests. He formed a collective called Melo-Melo Artist Alliance with several friends. It was then that his journey into art began. Oscillating between photography as a main source of income and painting as a hobby, he began to assert more attention and time to the latter. He has exhibited numerously in both solo and group exhibitions in Hong Kong, and most recently in Bangkok, Italy and New York. He currently resides in his birthplace province of Saskatchewan, Canada where he continues to paint and photograph.
