This June, Gertrude is launching the Queer Icons collection, an online exhibition celebrating the cultural contributions of LGBTQ+ artists, figures, and community.

The Queer Icons collection features artworks that depict or draw inspiration from LGBTQ+ people, places, and objects. Artists were invited to interpret this theme freely, resulting in a diverse array of artworks spanning multiple mediums and subjects. Ten percent of proceeds from sales will be donated to Stonewall.

Bex Massey, Deviant 2, 2022, Acrylic and oil on canvas, 45 x 35 x 5 cm £1,000 + VAT

Queer Icons includes artworks by James Dearlove, Alana Lake, Neil Haas, Daniel Rey, Sarah Jane Hender, Bex Massey, Maayan Sophia Weisstub, Constanza Pulit, Jimmy Connelly, Valentino Vannini, and Natalia Janula.

Gertrude The Art App continues its commitment to democratizing the art world by connecting independent artists with appreciative audiences. The platform provides a space where emerging talent can thrive and collectors can discover significant new voices before they enter the mainstream.
