👋🏽 I’m excited to share work from a new series

🦖 “Rex” uses my own Low-Rank Adaptation (LoRA) AI models to explore the role of the artist in the age of AI image generation, building on my prior works exploring the relationships between art and life

🧠 Socially conscious, this work responds to the surreality of reality. Depicting myself riding a 🦖, it defies reality as a means of non-conformity, building upon my artist mythology as an agent of cultural change. As a contribution to the global imagination infrastructure, it invites you to consider the roles art and technology play in inspiring a brighter future

⏳ The work is now available on my website as timed print and digital editions

🖼️ The first order was received this morning 🎉 starting a 72-hour countdown to close the print edition on 6/30 at 9:40am ET – order your print before time runs out!

Grateful to have my work exhibited across 3 cities in the US and Canada today. All artworks employ "arroz con popote," the art medium I invented as a way to address LGBTQ+ issues through my own cultural perspective. The phrase is a Mexican euphemism for homosexuality. The work takes ownership of the phrase and serves as a platform for discussions on q***r and social themes.

About the artwork:
“Amor” is a photograph inspired by Robert Indiana’s 1966 “Love.” It depicts the Spanish word for love, amor, through a colorful arrangement of rice and red straws—a playful nod to “arroz con popote,” a Mexican euphemism for male homosexuality. This limited edition artwork is also in the collection of the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) in New York City and has been instrumental in sparking essential conversations on LGBT+ issues, fostering positive change through meaningful dialogue.

Exhibition Dates: February 28 - April 25, 2024
