Queer LensSep 1–Oct 31, 2025
Bold visions from artists who see beyond the binary.
In Queer Lens, Asher Grey Gallery brings together an exceptional group of LGBTQI artists whose works reimagine how identity, desire, and belonging are seen, felt, and remembered. Across painting, photography, sculpture, and mixed media, these artists offer more than representation—they craft a visual language of queerness that is expansive, intimate, and defiantly beautiful.

This exhibition is not about a single narrative of queerness, but rather a kaleidoscope of perspectives. From Frederick Fulmer’s meditative landscapes to Mike McLain’s layered abstractions, Gregg Ross’s figurative representation to Tan Jazz Mont’s poetic figuration, each work refracts the lived experience of queerness through its own prism.

Yvonne Buchanan’s deconstructed digital geometrics and Daniel Samakow’s prints bring a striking sense of storytelling—merging cultural history and personal memory—while Dakota X’s landscape paintings and Beau’s homoerotic compositions expand the spectrum of queer visual possibility. Kevin William King’s textured forms converse with Tony Di Carlo’s whimsical motifs and Rachel Maxi’s lush still lifes contrast with Jamey Alexander Santos’s bold, corporeal presence. David A. Clark’s colorful sculptural work and paintings reimagine the iconography of arrows.
wm marquez explores intimacy and vulnerability through tactile surfaces and Margeaux Walters uses photography to create meticulously staged social satires. Meanwhile, the late Joe Brainard’s witty, tender works remind us that queer art is also an archive of joy. By placing these artists in dialogue, Queer Lens celebrates queerness not as a category to be explained, but as a dynamic aesthetic—fluid, complex, and alive. The works invite viewers to see differently: to look past convention, to linger in ambiguity, and to honor the ways art can hold space for identities that refuse to be reduced.

Here, queerness is not just visible—it is visionary.
