About

Queer art portrait of a gay cowboy by mitchel crandell, titled Cowboi

Born in Provo Utah and having that artistic itch suppressed by a Mormon upbringing/culture. Coming to terms with publicly displaying myself along with my love of art and what I find beautiful. It’s all been too liberating and amazing.

Incorporating a sweet and playful point of view in deconstructing the male gaze and instead embracing the queer one. The artworks presented display a tender and sensual adaptation of coquettish masculinity, lust, and beauty. A focus on the body’s form in a modern pin-up fashion, embracing the charm of negative space and linework.
