HOCUS POCUS: Solo Show By Devon Shimoyama

Hocus Pocus, a solo exhibition of paintings by Devan Shimoyama, questioned concepts surrounding gay male sexuality and explored the location of the queer black male in contemporary society and queer politics. The paintings create a dream-like space where touch and temperature dictate the form and color of the body. Fairy tales and folklore greatly influence the narrative elements within his paintings, alluding to a creation of myth around the queer black male.
