Painting, Acrylic on Canvas

***Caveat: The painting is actually 60 x 40 inches and a diptych of two 40 x 30 inch canvases. While born a man, I painted myself transformed into a woman in order to explore gender fluidity and my own attraction and fantasy for female beauty. Although I am very shy and timid in terms of exploring my feminine side in real life, I am very bold in my paintings, where I fantasize about becoming a woman. The woman is seated and thinking. The painting is experimentally colorful and semi abstracted figuration.

My figurative acrylic paintings depict me as a woman in fantasy and an animal figure that represents subdued masculinity. In depicting myself as a woman and a male animal, I follow the role model of the Japanese onnagata in Kabuki Theatre, who alternate between masculine and feminine persona in private and public. I also oppose the whitewashing and racialization of beauty in popular culture by pursuing a hybrid beauty that borrows from different people and cultures in order to resist the white beauty as an iconic center. Major contemporary influences include Lee, Quede; Yasumasa Yorimura; Tunji Adeyini-Jones; and Sara Anstis. Historical artists such as Picasso, Matisse, Modigliani, and Gauguin also made a strong impression in my young self. My art manifests as a colorful vision of a cis man becoming a woman, and it exists on the middle ground of ambiguity in which I constantly pursue femininity on the canvas yet I never arrive in reality.
