Little Ricky
Because of Ewe- Acrylic on Wood

2021

About the Item

As a native Angeleno, gay man and Latinx queer street artist who started his career in 1988 with an uncommon discipline and work ethos in his practice, "Little Ricky" has been studying, developing, archiving, and formulating his campaigns on the street and in galleries for over 3 decades. The pink sheep are a part of the LGBTQ+ queer community and also the street art world, inspired immensely by the biography of famous clothing designer, Alexander McQueen who referred to himself not as the black sheep but as a "pink sheep.” Thus began the turn to "pink sheep" and his many characters known as "Moonsters", beginning as stickers on the streets and now to complex canvases shown at galleries. Ricky’s art is about color - rainbow colors that reflect who e(we) are as a community. At the heart and soul of the series is the idea that e(we) are all different. E(we) are all queer. E(we) are all crazy beautiful.
