"Self Portrait | Supertran" is on view at national LGBTQ fine art exhibition during San Diego Pride Month.
SAN DIEGO - Californer -- Emerging visual artist Jacob Clayton is proud to represent the transgender artist community with a new photo-based, mixed media self portrait at the 8th Annual PROUD+ Exhibition. Part of his ongoing project Deprivation of Self, Portraits "this piece is a tribute to the little boy in me that never was," says Clayton. "Born and socialized in a female body, I yearned to be Superman and to feel like I could be a hero. My art practice has allowed me to fully realize this dream."
This national juried exhibition features contemporary queer artists whose work reflects their own interpretations of pride, resilience, and community, and who seek to express their creativity, identity, and lived experiences.
