Particularly the albums of my German mother and begin meditating on the images of her life before I was born to see what ghosts emerge. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a9aa4e4ec4eb77e4ce45b50/1574626615926-3OHQJ6ZVV2VZP2CKTLKB/richter+3.jpg blog - Gerhard Richter The blurriness is in full effect in this piece and the monochromatic quality to it is reminding me of how I am working with paint for my memory-project; before I begin each composition, I am laying down a foundation of gray and painting over it while the paint is still wet. I have to work a bit harder to work up the colors, the blacks and the whites in the pieces I am doing but it is giving those pieces the same monochromatic effect I am loving here in Richter’s work. Looking at this particular piece, it occurs to me that these works are about ghosts or about hauntings and I believe that the photographs from an old family album that I am choosing to treat in my paintings (or maybe, the photos that are choosing me) are about the things that haunt me: The specters that wander my subconscious. https://www.petereriklopez.com/blog/2019/11/16/marlene-dumas monthly 0.5 2019-11-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a9aa4e4ec4eb77e4ce45b50/1573946302168-8Z3H6MGR55ZJIJXDPMIQ/marlene+3.jpg blog - Marlene Dumas This work by Dumas attracts me because of the pairing of a human portrait with an animal’s head. Of late, I have been playing with self-portraits and goat heads and while I have abandoned that path, the new work does include a child with goat eyes, animals, and I am planning to replace the head of a subject with an animal’s head for one of the final pieces. Even before my work with goat heads, I have always been attracted to art that combines animal imagery with human anatomy. I believe this may have sparked from my childhood fascination with Disney and Warner Bros. cartoons. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a9aa4e4ec4eb77e4ce45b50/1573946846797-S66JBW04I044AU40CZL3/marlene+4.jpg blog - Marlene Dumas This Dumas portrait has a dark quality. There seems to be something strange or off about the person presented here. There is also a strangeness and oddity to the vignettes that I am painting. There is something off about each scene that seeks to touch the sensibility of the viewer in a way that disturbs but holds them. I see this quality in the above Dumas portrait. Again the quality of the paint is thin and outlines are prevalent. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a9aa4e4ec4eb77e4ce45b50/1573945683982-Q6OJJ0YOI0OJ1JL3RH8J/marlene+2.jpg blog - Marlene Dumas I was immediately attracted to this piece primarily, I believe, because it is a portrait. But the style is also very much like the style in which I am using paint for this series. The paint is applied thinly and there is also aspects of the composition (the hands, the collar) that are outlined. Elderly women also play a heavy role in my work right now because I am mining old photographs from an album and many of the pictures record the older German women from my childhood. In both my work and Dumas’ above portrait, the women have a witchy-quality to them which I find interesting because when my mother began telling me the story of her life one day, she began at the Bavarian mountains where she reported that it was rumored witches lived. https://www.petereriklopez.com/blog/2019/11/9/recent-works-1 monthly 0.5 2019-11-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a9aa4e4ec4eb77e4ce45b50/1573421024535-XQUV64MRDKDPU5CZVA9Q/thumbnail_IMG_5988.jpg blog -

Make it stand out Out of drag, Dorian looks like and acts like the love child of RuPaul and Tyler Perry. But he is clearly a personality of his own making and that personality is warm, funny, and business savvy. When Dorian got out of the Uber in front of the studio he had already marked his face up with makeup (a rough line around his nose, some eye liner, several more lines and circles, both light and dark, here and there) so he had the appearance of someone about to hit he stage for The Lion King. As he sat in the studio and began blending the marks and the lines and transforming himself into Harmonica Sunbeam (who in turn bears a striking resemblance to Vivica Foxx) we began our two hours chat about the business of drag. I noticed as I watched him change that he is far from the lithe Harmonica Sunbeam of a couple of decades ago. Dorian is now a rather big man and I knew then that this portrait would be glamorous but also more matronly than I imagined. But this fit her personality because we talked as though we knew each other for many years. To many drag queens of yesteryear who are still going strong, the television show Rupaul’s Drag Race Is a curse: many of them see themselves replaced season after season by younger, less talented queens. Harmonica frames the show as a blessing. “Before the show if I walked into a restaurant that looked a little slow and asked them if they were interested in a drag brunch I would get a look. Now everyone is liking for this type of entertainment”. She went on mention now that drag has become so mainstream, that it’s economically feasible for restaurants and bars to hire a drag performer to keep their customers entertained than having to pay a whole band. But these days, Harmonica’s revenue does not rely on drag brunches or late night gigs in clubs (which, to her, is a done deal at this age). These days, she works with an organization that coordinates Drag Time Story Hour where she reads children’s books to children in a much more colorful version of Harmonica than her fans from back in the day are used to. I asked her if she likes it, she said yes. I also asked if the children ever say anything crazy and she talked about how one young “future Karen” walked up to her as she was reading and said “you’re ring is too big”. Harmonica told me she calmly explained to the child that her ring is so big in order to make her large hands appear smaller and then calmly instructed the girl that “were on page 3”. As I painted Harmonica, she kept her phone on a sort of mini easel so she could see it and picked it up rather often. From her mumblings, I intuited they were business related. She never stops working. Drag has not been Harmonicas only career, Dorian is a licensed masseur and worked three seasons for the NY Giants. “No matter what body part they came to me claiming was in pain”, she laughed, “I always made sure I did the glutes”. As we wrapped up and Harmonica whipped off Sheila (her wig), shimmied out of her sparkly green and purple dress, and wiped the makeup from her face, she showed me an image in her phone of a cartoon version of herself done by someone she hired. “It’s for merch”, Dorian said. He never stops working. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a9aa4e4ec4eb77e4ce45b50/3b601b46-cff1-474f-8bd5-221029c27cbe/Boomer+Banks.jpg 30X50: 30 portraits by age 50 - Make it stand out Boomer is tall (not as tall as me but tall) and also quite lanky. He has the build of a fashion model which is fitting as he shared that he sees himself leaving the adult film industry eventually (he is 42 now) and diving more deeply into fashion. As he walked into my studio sipping on a coffee in a to-go cup, he immediately recognized Amanda Lepore from her portrait. But he did not at first recognize his colleague-in-gay-adult-films: Antonio Biaggi. When I told him who it was the reaction was very much when one cat sees another cat in an alley. Evidently there was bad blood between the two and as we spoke Boomer shared that the adult film business can be a not-so-nice environment. He did express sadness, however, that he feels he experienced a lot of “shade” from many of the other actors-of-color when he arrived on the adult film scene. “Was it jealousy? We’re you a threat, do you think?” I asked. He responded with a no that was less conviction and more along the lines of thinking that jealousy would be illogical: “there’s room for all of us. We all do different things in the industry. And even if we do the same thing; there’s plenty of room”. Ironically, mean spiritedness among actors in the gay adult film industry was a sentiment Antonio shared as well. However It seems that the producers are a little kinder to their actors than they are to each other: Boomer told me that when he started, the industry just wanted him to use him as strictly a top because of how endowed he is but when he finally shared with them that that was not the sex he was interested in, they allowed him to adjust his role and when he threatened to leave once, they formed a mini-company for him. Boomer has been HIV positive for close to 20 years and initially was diagnosed with AIDS. He makes no secret that he was a drug addict and living in the streets of Southern California many years ago. “I wish I had been living in the streets of NYC”, he said. “The people here would have take me care of me”. By “people” he meant gay people, club culture people, drag queens and trans people: cool people. I asked him what he felt he was avoiding feeling by numbing himself with drugs all those years ago. His mother, he said, was never around and she passed away when he was only 14 when they lived in Mexico. He did not know his father and the family he did know were not accepting of him (the insinuation is that he was feminine when very young). While painting his face I couldn’t help but notice how much Boomer resembled a younger version of my dead father. It endeared me to him more than his sweet and very very progressive personality. Boomer is big on trans rights, BIPOC equality, and gay visibility. As he continued to sip his coffee and have a few grapes, he shared that he is currently dating Kerri Colby (a recent contestant on “RuPaul’s Drag Race”). Colby is trans. And while I think many people would have paused at the idea that a gay man could date a trans woman, I understood it completely and more so when he shared he was in therapy for this relationship. “We haven’t learned”, I said, “how to love a trans person”. I understood his love for one and his need to do the work to understand his role and responsibility in such a relationship. At 6:23pm I called time and he remarked (as many of my sittings do) that it went by so fast. As he pulled his jacket on, he looked at the wine glass I had clumsily set out for him (not realizing he was sober for many years). “I should have drank my coffee out of that” he giggled and later I regretted not pouring his coffee into the wine glass and taking a shot of him with it. It would have made a great picture. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a9aa4e4ec4eb77e4ce45b50/9aefb629-d33e-41a8-8baf-68b8321a12ed/Lopez_Peter_03.jpg 30X50: 30 portraits by age 50 - Make it stand out Amanda Lepore was the first person I had ever painted without speaking to them-in any capacity-first. Before her Uber pulled up in front of my studio at 9pm in a cold late February night l, all my communications about the sitting had been between myself and Amanda’s assistant, Michele. Michele and I had gone back and forth over the course of about 6 months. I had originally asked that Amanda come to sit for me with minimal makeup and hair but Michele quickly told me that was an impossible request: “amanda goes nowhere without being made up” she informed me. So I abandoned the idea of an Amanda portrait bc I believed anyone could get an image of Ananda Lepore all dolled up: my vision was of Amanda dressed down, vulnerable, quotidian. One evening I had dinner with an old friend, Elissa DElia and told her of the almost-portrait. Elissa pretty much told me I was a fool for not doing the portrait even if it did not fit my vision. So I called Michele back and arranged it. Amanda arrived in a leopard print coat with Lorenzo, her hair stylist. “Amanda doesn’t go anywhere alone”, Michele had warned me. She was soft spoken and very polite. When I asked her if she had a gig tonight after the sitting, she said no: the night was mine. We had agreed on two hours. She asked if I had a space heater because she gets cold. I had some grapes, cheese, and wine for her. She ate about 4 grapes throw out the two hours and toasted me with her glass of wine just as many times. Lorenzo sat quietly on his phone in a corner throughout the sitting like a man waiting for his mother to be finished with a doctors appointment. For the two hours I tried to engage Amanda in conversation but nothing sparked. She wasn’t being rude or standoffish and i felt it was also more than just professionalism; there was something about Amanda that seemed as though she lost the ability somewhere for small talk. It seemed not so much as though she didn’t want to talk but didn’t know what to say; didn’t know how to keep a conversation going beyond a direct answer to any question I asked. Surprisingly to me, Amanda’s lack of conversation didn’t throw me. The portrait was coming along really well. “You have an easy face” I told her “You’re like a caricature” Lorenzo chimed in “It’s my facial structure” amanda responded This was the longest conversation the three of us had. Throughout, they both remained reserved: like two people being held hostage agrarian to day the wrong thing lest the man with the gun behind the curtain get annoyed. At last the sitting was over and I asked Amanda if she liked it “I don’t know. I’m not used to seeing shadows on me” she replied (referring to the shadows I had put on her neck under her chin . Lorenzo, having witnessed what I believed to be my best work characteristically said nothing. I walked the two down to their Uber and Lorenzo awkwardly laughed as I kissed Amanda goodbye on her cheek. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a9aa4e4ec4eb77e4ce45b50/7edee351-6aab-4d58-b73f-4d2c182db9e3/264878146_10226783877123376_3423360185245079138_n.jpg 30X50: 30 portraits by age 50 - Make it stand out In the movies, Antonio looks tall and lanky. His arms and legs look long like a basketball players. In person he is rather short. Maybe 5’6 or 7. Despite this, and even with his mask on, I recognized Antonio immediately from the eyes up when he met me at the 4Ave train station in Brooklyn. We walked to my studio on 7th street and made small talk where I found out he was born in Puerto Rico and currently lives in Ft Lauderdale. He just turned 43 in June (or July). And he hated the cold weather we were experiencing on the walk to the studio. To say it wasn’t arousing to see Antonio’s oversized genitalia hanging over the edge of the stool I sat him in is of course ludicrous. But I wasn’t aroused. We made easy conversation learning about each other’s lives, partners (he has been with his Jewish partner for ten years), travel (he is a hardcore traveler like me), proclivities and pet peeves. I interviewed him about the adult film industry and he recalled that his first film ever was an orgy scene and that he was nervous. I asked if he was tired of it all and he admitted he was and that he has been looking for a “way out” for while. In asking him about what happens if he is paired with someone he is not attracted to, I learned that male adult film stars are often injected with a substance that makes their penises erect for hours and that all they have to do is moan and groan. He said you don’t feel much when your penis is artificially engorged that way and that it makes it difficult to cum. Also, he admitted, if you are erect for up to 6 hours, they have to use another needle and drain you. Antonio could see the painting as it evolved and it was sweet to see the look of admiration he seemed to have for my ability to capture him almost exactly. He is a bit cross eyed and also a bit self conscious of his physique (which has its ups and downs, he says). When there were moments of silence we both did equal work in picking up the conversation trying to make each other feel comfortable. But we both fell into silence when I began painting his testicles. “If I don’t get these right”, I joked, “no one will recognize you”. https://www.petereriklopez.com/dixon daily 0.75 2024-12-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a9aa4e4ec4eb77e4ce45b50/c09d30b0-d288-4ec0-aa88-4a531a693576/369260808_10230946229419582_5456823387690481888_n.jpg Dixon - Make it stand out A dream: I was caring for a Tiger. The Tiger dozed while I rubbed ointment into its massive face to heal it. My fingers got too close to its eye and the ointment ran into it. I panicked. I wondered if the Tiger would awaken and attack. I slithered away. The Tiger followed me but shrank and then it wrapped its mouth and then its whole body around my hand and arm like a tiger-snake. I looked around and saw someone near me: “I have to feed him”, I said. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a9aa4e4ec4eb77e4ce45b50/b1040a80-ab35-4572-8ad3-0db6f420e3ea/367474371_10230940017744294_60179040698334554_n.jpg Dixon -
