Screenprint in colours on Coventry Rag paper // Glenn Ligon's America (2015) is a limited edition screen-print on Coventry Rag paper, measuring 24.5 x 32 inches. The artwork features the word AMERICA prominently displayed in bold, capital letters, set against a distressed, textured black background. The print’s surface shows intentional wear and fragmentation, evoking a sense of decay and highlighting themes of identity, race, and history within the American context. The rough texture and the broken appearance of the text create a powerful visual statement, aligning with Ligon's exploration of language and its impact on cultural and social narratives. This work invites viewers to reflect on the complexity and duality of the American experience.

What is Queer Aesthetics?
Queer Aesthetics refers to an art movement that emerged in the 1980s, focusing on themes of homosexuality, lesbianism, and broader issues of identity and gender. This movement gained momentum in the context of the AIDS crisis and the feminist movement, challenging traditional representations of sexuality and gender. Queer Aesthetics often explores the fluidity of gender and identity, as seen in the works of artists like Nan Goldin, who is known for her photography of individuals with ambiguous or non-conforming gender presentations.
