About the artist: Fyodor Pavlov is a queer transgender Russian emigre and long time New Yorker. Working primarily through the medium of watercolor and ink, he maintains a strong portfolio focused on multicultural motifs of history, queer sexuality, and esoteric occultism. His goal is to create images that tell stories and contextualize queer identity in a past where it always existed, and reimagine it in a society liberated from suppression. He creates art that brings new life to the past for contemporary audiences and evokes a world in which the past is present, the present is queer, and gender is fluid.
