Sarah Jane Moon's limited edition prints - signed, numbered and titled by the artist - represent a cross section of contemporary queer LGBTQ+ life and love.
The people depicted are often those whom she admires greatly for their commitment to live authentically and forge ahead in their chosen industry. They include Dr Ronx, an emergency medical doctor, TV presenter, writer and trans advocate; Juno Roche; performers Bird La Bird and Krishna Istha; artists Stav B and Roxana Halls; landscape designer Charlotte Harris; and the artist herself. Together they create a powerful statement on contemporary life lived with pride.
Originally from New Zealand, Sarah Jane has lived in Japan, Malaysia, Australia and the UK, and has qualifications in Art Theory and Curatorial Practice from universities in Australia and New Zealand as well as Portrait Painting from the Heatherley School of Fine Arts in Chelsea. She teaches at Heatherley's, the Mall Galleries, The Art Academy and the National Portrait Gallery, with her private studio based in Brixton.
The exhibition takes residence in the new gallery space at West Norwood Library & Picturehouse, curated by Figuration, and is open during the building’s usual opening times.
