Queer Art: From Canvas to Club, and the Spaces Between

Bold. Beautiful. Unapologetically Queer. Step into a world where self-expression knows no bounds and creativity comes out in full color. Queer Art: From Canvas to Club, and the Spaces Between is a vibrant celebration of LGBTQI+ artists who have transformed the art world—and the world at large—through radical vision, resilience, and pure fabulosity.

Curated by the brilliant Gemma Rolls-Bentley, this powerful book features nearly 200 jaw-dropping works by legends and luminaries alike. You’ll find icons like Andy Warhol, Zanele Muholi, Nan Goldin, David Hockney, Tom of Finland, and Clifford Prince King. The collection spans mediums and generations—from pioneers of Queer Cinema like Derek Jarman and Sir Isaac Julien to Instagram-era artists like Sin Wai Kin and Zackary Drucker. Every page is a statement—raw, racy, and radically honest. From grief and protest to joy and celebration, these works reflect the full spectrum of queer experience. Think nightclubs turned galleries. Drag as living sculpture. Queer identity captured in powerful photography, performance, digital art, and more.

This book is a dazzling timeline of LGBTQI+ culture. It captures the energy of the Stonewall uprising, the heartbreak of the HIV/AIDS crisis, the electric rise of drag, and the ongoing fight for trans and marriage equality. It’s both a tribute and a call to action.

As Russell Tovey & Robert Diament of the Talk Art podcast say,

“A book like this is long overdue!”

Queer Art is a must-have for anyone who believes art is liberation, identity is expression, and beauty is a form of resistance. Flip through for inspiration, reflection, and pure celebration—this is more than a book, it's a cultural landmark.

Come for the icons. Stay for the revolution.
