Описание: Lauren YS is a queer, Los Angeles-based artist who excels in multiple mediums. However, murals are in “my blood,” YS, who uses they/them pronouns, tells Out. “I love traveling, I love being in the world, I think it’s such a necessary antidote to the deeply solipsistic and sometimes isolating life of a studio practitioner,” they share. YS calls the experience of making large-scale art a “spiritual” act. The same could be said of beholding their murals — dreamscapes swirling with monsters, aliens, femme Asian figures, nature, mythic creatures, and sexuality. “I have a deep and compulsive desire to inject the universe with the beauty of queer worlds — there is an infinite well of strange wonder that I am constantly uncovering as I delve deeper into the queer,” YS says. They see their murals as “portals to alleviate the heaviness of reality.” It is a giant mural of their interpretation of the iconic American symbol of Rosie the Riveter.
