"The Man in the Violet Dreamscape With Red Flowers"

Jon Key’s works feature his own likeness as a contorted black man in a variety of poses against green, black, violet and red backgrounds. The colors render the figure flamboyant and provocative while the tight framing stifles his freedom. Key uses these four colors to acknowledge his Southern roots, his Blackness, his Queerness and his family.
