Pride London and Worldwide 2020
LONDON ♥ DICK Illustration and Sound Show: The LOVED Collective, LONDON ♥ DICK
3 July 2020 - 7 August 2020
LONDON ♥ DICK Illustration and Sound Show: The LOVED Collective, LONDON ♥ DICK
3 July 2020 - 7 August 2020
LOVED is an analogue and digital gallery work by artists Charlie Hunter and Mike Wyeld. A show incorporating large format illustrations, audio interviews, composed score and sound design, LOVED has toured the world for the last five years, researching, exhibiting and finding new challenges in depicting the ‘Bear Community’ and its many tangents. From Estonia, Sweden and Finland to Canada and the USA, LOVED has also been to Northern Ireland and Liverpool, and now comes to London
LOVED explores themes of masculinity, sexuality, joy, anger and non-conforming. The sitters and interviewees in this project have been chosen from around the world, their shared feature being that they in some way self-identify as part of the ‘Bear Community’, a subculture of queer men that has developed mostly in the last 20 years
While myths of beauty and ideas around body shape, fitness, and obesity feature heavily in mainstream culture, there are some people who have found acceptance in new movements, formed new alliances and set in motion new ideas; they are LOVED - and some of those people come out in this exhibition, and from behind closed panels, to assert, proclaim and explain where they are with their difference and their sameness
Life-Size and A2 prints, as well as LONDON ♥ DICK T-shirts and baseball caps are available to purchase. Charlie Hunter commissions can also be arranged; for all please contact gallery@velorose.com
