Another Paradise, 2017
Acrylic on canvas
100 x 100 cm

As a young closeted gay child growing up in the prairies of Saskatchewan, life was exceedingly difficult. I couldn’t wait to move into the big city of Toronto to begin my years of study. Homosexuality was a sin, and one would go to Hell, eternal Hell where the fiery pits would render your Soul into an endless oblivion of pain and suffering. I remember hearing a saying “If I die and go to Hell, there’s going to be a lot of gay men around”. This painting reminds me of that saying, where men in all their glory are parading around in the flesh.
