Embrace the Bold: “Red, Black, Cocky” at HARD NEW YORK – A Fusion of Ancient Tradition and Queer Artistry – Presented by HARD NEW YORK – Homoerotic Art Gallery
Drawing unparalleled inspiration from his frequent visits to the Oceanic Art Wing in The Michael C. Rockefeller Wing at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, Alexander intertwines the rich, phallus-centric art traditions of Oceanic and Pacific Island cultures with contemporary queer expression. “Red, Black, Cocky” transcends mere art collection status, emerging as a vibrant crusade against the restraints of modern masculinity and sexuality. Through this collection, Alexander boldly revisits the essence of raw, genuine human expression, untouched by the sterilizing forces of capitalism and patriarchy. His work is a tribute to the spirit of the LGBTQ+ community, capturing the potent mix of power, fertility, and unapologetic masculinity symbolized by the Cocky Cowboy.
At HARD NEW YORK, we stand in awe of the transformative power of art—to provoke, to inspire, and to unite in the celebration of diversity. “Red, Black, Cocky” epitomizes this mission, inviting viewers to embark on a profound exploration of human sexuality, identity, and the ongoing quest for freedom and equal rights. More than a feast for the senses, Alexander’s collection serves as a critical commentary on both the strides and struggles of the LGBTQ+ community, seamlessly blending ancient artistry with modern activism.
