"Lines are for Crossing" Mixed Media Painting

Featuring trans, deaf, Chinese artist, Chella Man, in this painting, a transgender Chinese man is portrayed from the waist-up and has pink paint randomly brushed across his arms and torso. His hands, which are covered in the same pink paint, are leaned against his head, ruffling his short, black hair. Behind him is yellow tape stating "Police Line Do Not Cross" and behind that are overlapping, countless words of negativity, such as "don't," "can't," "shouldn't" and "you will never." The man is giving the viewer a closed-mouth, mischievous or playful smile and his eyes seem bright and gentle with mirth. Original artwork is mixed media on 11x14-inch gray paper, and is signed and dated by the artist. Find prints or merchandise of this drawing at: shop.arienreed.com Instagram: @arienreedart
