What is Queer Aesthetics?
Queer Aesthetics refers to an art movement that emerged in the 1980s, focusing on themes of homosexuality, lesbianism, and broader issues of identity and gender. This movement gained momentum in the context of the AIDS crisis and the feminist movement, challenging traditional representations of sexuality and gender. Queer Aesthetics often explores the fluidity of gender and identity, as seen in the works of artists like Nan Goldin, who is known for her photography of individuals with ambiguous or non-conforming gender presentations.

Monochromatic describes paintings, photographs, designs, or drawings that utilize one color or various shades of a single color. Monochromatic objects have a limited range of hues. While the term often refers to black and white or grayscale images, it can also apply to any artwork that contains tones of just one color.
Oil on board is a painting technique where oil paint is applied to either wood panels that have been sanded and primed or high-density cardboard covered with canvas. These surfaces offer the advantage of being more compact for storage compared to traditional stretched canvas on frames, while still providing a stable surface for painting.
