Luis De Jesus Los Angeles proudly celebrates Pride Month as a time for community, dialogue, and creative exchange. In this spirit, the gallery is pleased to present Strings Attached: Queering Proximities an intimate group exhibition exploring queer strategies through the works of multidisciplinary artists Amy Adler, John Brooks, Josh Cabello, Pui Tiffany Chow, Zackary Drucker, Rubén Esparza, Ken Gonzales-Day, Jonathan VanDyke, and Jwan Yosef.
Strings Attached: Queering Proximities celebrates the diverse perspectives of artists engaging in multidisciplinary queer strategies that expand on themes of relationality, empathy, intimacy, representation, subversion, and the queer sublime. The works on view exemplify intimate research practices that are deeply embedded both within and beyond their material forms—drawing connections from life, events, histories, popular imagery, and personal experiences. Spanning painting, drawing, photography, textiles, and assemblage, the exhibition invites us to consider how queer embodiments and affective ties—material and metaphorical—generate new frameworks for belonging, care, and resistance in a time of social fragmentation.
