Street Life in Paintings by Kal Gajoum

In art works of Kal Gajoum you can feel warmth and energy, which is often overlooked by contemporary artists. His paintings are both modern and traditional, powerful and delicate, complex and simple. Kal Gajoum is a real colorist whose works fill the room with light. And, it’s probably not just because the artist is well mastered the technique of painting. He really loves his job – and each work radiates this love. And vivid scenes of street life filled with red umbrellas have become a hallmark of the artist.

Something I’ve been thinking a lot about is bi-visibility. My partner is male. I’m more of a femme, so I present as straight, except sometimes in the way I dress. When this aspect of my identity isn’t apparent part of me feels invisible.

“Through this binary-reinforcing “you’re either with us or against us” normativizing apparatus, the war on terror has rehabilitated some—clearly not all or most—lesbians, gays, and queers to U.S. national citizenship within a spatial-temporal domain I am invoking as “homonationalism,” short for “homonormative nationalism.”
