Lindsey’s paintings of everyday objects function like culturescapes, capturing queer life in real time. A lot of their work focuses on creating a kind of blueprint for the community-focused world they want to live in. They often say that their work centers pleasure and joy beyond what capitalism allows, because systems like capitalism rely on hyper individualism, isolation, and binary ideas like gender to function. Lindsey wants their work to show us the infinite alternative possibilities of real futures where queer communities can thrive, while also archiving queer existence in the present moment. 

Their work uses expressive mark-making and saturated color to explore emotional responses with their audience. Trained as a painter with a history in sculpture and art history, Lindsey’s work materializes the immaterial and provokes their viewers to view the mundane of the world through a unique, vibrant, and queer lens.

Perry Picasshoe (she/he/they) is a first-generation Mexican-American artist and designer based in Southern California, with an art degree from UCLA.

They fundamentally believe that art should be more than just something you look at—it should be something you live in. Perry’s work often explores their Queer Latinx identity and experiences with bipolar disorder. These personal aspects show up in the vibrant colors and surreal elements of their whimsical pieces. Their art creates its own world, where they can express the complexities of identity and emotion.
