Le Pont de l'Espoir

£6,000.00

oil on canvas. 2026. Oil on canvas 125×181cm. A painting responding to the ongoing debate about how to interpret Caillebotte’s Le Pont de l’Europe. My version imagines how it might have looked in a world without gay shame — three men, free in their gaze, on a London bridge near Camden. The work mirrors the scale of the original (125 × 181 cm) but replaces the industrial Parisian bridge with one layered in contemporary graffiti and street art, featuring tributes to David Hockney, Symone Salib’s My Existence is Resistance, Jeremy Novy’s koi fish, and Make Everything Great Again by Dominykas Čečkauskas and Mindaugas Bonanu.
