Lavender Lads
18" × 24"

$550
Inspired by the Lavender Scare — the Cold War-era persecution of gay men in 1950s America. Two figures sit together in a sun-drenched room, lavender sprigs and a pink cocktail quietly defying the paranoia of the time. The title borrows from the slur used against them, reclaimed here as a portrait of resilience.
