Visual arts are creative expression in pictorial, graphic, sculptural, and other two-dimensional and three-dimensional form. They include painting, drawing, sculpture, printmaking, photography, and installation art. Different eras in history have had their own standards for defining art and beauty, and queer painters, artists, cartoonists, muralists, and photographers have taken these definitions and remade them in their own image time and time again.

Portrait of Dr. Evelyn Hooker by Don Bachardy, 1960

Evelyn Hooker was an American psychologist who argued that a false correlation between homosexuality and mental illness had formed the basis of classifying homosexuality as a mental disorder. Her work led the way to the eventual removal of homosexuality from the American Psychiatric Association's Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders.

Spider and Office Johnson, 2007
2
Artist: Alex Donis. Spider and Officer Johnson is a print from the painting series titled WAR, depicting police officers dancing with gang members with humorous yet tension-filled imagery elevating the homophobia and racial intolerance that exists in our social and justice system. Originally scheduled to be exhibited at the Watts Towers Arts Center in 2001, this painting series was threatened with protest and possible violent actions by members of the Watts community, prompting the exhibition's censorship by the Cultural Affairs Department of Los Angeles. Part of the exhibit "At the Heart of It: LGBT Representation at Self Help Graphics", curated by Ruben Esparza.

I Lied, 2021
2
Artist: Alex Donis. I Lied is the culmination of an unfinished work that began in the mid-1990s after completing a single lithography poster of the same image. The edition depicts the Virgin Mary in her iconic contemplative stare and delicate hand gestures but with the words, I Lied subtly placed before the sacred heart. Through these simple words, the artist forces the viewer to see Mary beyond her divinity, but her humanness. A human with faults who perhaps may have lied to protect her loved ones, or to hide a secret or a painful truth. However, the criticism here heavily lies on the religious institutions who through the prevalent imagery, authority, and doctrine, have exploited and harmed many with minimal accountability.

Remembrance for Teddy & Arnie, 2008
1
Artist: Joey Terrill. The image is taken from a 1989 painting created by Terrill titled Remembrance, exhibited at the Santa Monica Museum of Art for an art auction to raise funds for agencies working on the AIDs pandemic in the Latino Community. The serigraph Remembrance (For Teddy and Arnie), printed in 2008, honors the artist's friends, Arnie Araica (who designed the shirt the central figure is wearing) and the artist Teddy Sandoval, who died of Aids. The central figure is a self-portrait standing alongside his past partner, Robert Ward, during a dark period when friends had or were dying of AIDs. The two figures, the younger figure following the steps of his older partner, are in a garden surrounded by plants, white gladiolas, and birds of paradise. The garden, a reflection of life and beauty, can be likened to Terrill's friendships and their loss. The artist reflected on being alive 19 years after creating his original painting, having lived with HIV. Celebrating another 15 years since the creation of this print, the artist continues to champion health rights for the LBGTQ+ community.

LXS Guia, 2018
1
Artist: Cynthia Velasquez. Cynthia Velasquez was born to a Chilean mother and a Guatemalan father, but her household was never strictly one culture. Like the city of Los Angeles, her household was diverse, influencing how she views herself and creates art. Her journey to find herself as an artist and a descendant of displaced people began at home, as did her understanding and introspection of her roots and ancestors in Chile and Guatemala. Her work references her search for lost parts of her identity, exploring that loss to understand her grounding as an artist and a queer womxn. Lxs Guía is a portrait of a womxn’s moment connecting with the spirit of the elder and the spirit animals, honoring the direction of the buffalo, the elder, and her ancestors.

Intertwined, 2007
1
Artist: Luciano Martinez. As real and imagined borders separate same-sex partners, the artist considers a new obstacle Gay Latino men face: gay marriage. Intertwined addresses the forbidden love between two men, sometimes complicated by geographic and cultural differences, trapped by an invisible cell that confines yet separates them. The prison-like bars that separate the lovers in the artwork are not only geographic, racial, and cultural but ominously political, highlighting the cross-national restrictions on gay marriage and the difficulties of recognizing same-sex partners within conservative societies.

Artrist: Miguel Angel Reyes. Influenced by oddly-toned color ads from 1970's fashion magazines, play with the labels men use to describe themselves for "sex hook-ups" internet personal advertisements. Though proudly gay, the butch-top asserts his sexually dominant role as a man, dispelling the commonly-held notion that homosexual men are feminine and passive. His attitude challenges any question of machismo. Part of the exhibit "At the Heart of It: LGBT Representation at Self Help Graphics", curated by Ruben Esparza.

Intertwined, 2007
1
Artist: Luciano Martinez. As real and imagined borders separate same-sex partners, the artist considers a new obstacle Gay Latino men face: gay marriage. Intertwined addresses the forbidden love between two men, sometimes complicated by geographic and cultural differences, trapped by an invisible cell that confines yet separates them. The prison-like bars that separate the lovers in the artwork are not only geographic, racial, and cultural but ominously political, highlighting the cross-national restrictions on gay marriage and the difficulties of recognizing same-sex partners within conservative societies.
