"THE PEOPLE" by Oliver Vincent Reyes
“THE PEOPLE” is as revealing and political as it is vibrant - the introspective exhibit will take the audience through a full-bodied artistic practice, encompassing self-portraiture, cartoons and powerful connections to queer history. Oliver's work manifests from the perspective of queer individuals and provides the opportunity to portray their full humanity.
Oliver is a freelance creative and community organiser in illustration, graphic design & arts curation. Based on the Central Coast, he enjoys to create experiences of artistic freedom for the Trans and Queer communities; such as ‘Mardi Queer’ and soon-to-launch ‘Trans Impression’.
