About the Item

“No Reason To Cry” depicts a serene, shaved individual gazing contemplatively. Bold reds and neutrals create vivid visual impact, with red background symbolizing passion and vitality. Jon Pannier’s series for our “Muscle Memory” exhibition delves into violence against the LGBTQIA+ community from the 1980s to the present. As a young gay man who moved to New York in 1989, Pannier was profoundly impacted by rampant gay and trans bashing fueled by fear and homophobia during the AIDS crisis. The series features portraits of gay, lesbian, and gender-nonconforming individuals, all showing visible signs of brutalization. The floral designs also symbolically nod to the historical connection between flowers and homosexuality, referencing the use of “pansy” as slang and the florist stereotype. Through this juxtaposition, the series underscores the beauty and tragedy in the struggle for acceptance and equality.

His filter is the culture’s love of fame and/or pornography, mixed with the romance and perversion of classical allegorical portraiture. His lavish materiality finds a narrative function for neon light tubes...
