And They Were Roommates | LGBT Art Print

Ah yes, two men who lived together for 40 years, never married, went everywhere together and were buried side by side. Obviously, just really good friends.

'And They Were Roommates' is my little nod to all those same-sex relationships throughout history that were conveniently explained away as close friendships. Historians could recognise everything except a gay couple standing right in front of them.

Inspired by vintage photographs and the way LGBTQ+ love has so often been overlooked, this artwork captures two men sharing a moment together. It's nostalgic, a little sarcastic and a reminder that gay people didn't suddenly appear in the 21st century. 

Originally painted by me at Kauter Studios, this LGBT art print is perfect for anyone who appreciates queer history, gay art, LGBTQ+ representation and a bit of humour at history's expense.
