Jason Horowitz’s Larger-Than-Life Drag Queens

February 1st, 2010 by Sasha

No, I don’t just admire Jason Horowitz’s photos of renowned New York drag queen, Shi-Queeta Lee for her strikingly similar name to my own. These up close-n-personal, hyper-realistic shots elegantly straddle the realms of glamour and repulsion, real and ideal, portraiture and abstraction. His show opens at Curator’s Office February 20th.

    looks like medical photography – which is not very appealing

    Actually, the show opens Feb. 20 and runs through March 27. The exhibition will focus on the intense emotional side of the drag queens.

    I love the one of the eyes squeezed shut. i’ve never seen a photograph of just that part of the face before. it’s strangely affecting.
