Patricia Sweetow Gallery presents Jamie Vasta: House of Roses, where glitter portraits reimagine ballroom culture through a Pre-Raphaelite lens. Vasta celebrates queer identity, depicting a fictive family in lush, opulent settings, honoring Black and Latinx communities’ legacy of chosen family, resilience, and performance. Flowing drapery, luminous colors, and striking figures convey beauty, self-possession, and the grandeur of queer expression.
