For Immediate Release:

“Tyranny of Hypocrisy” Drawings by Raymond Majerski
February 7—March 8
Opening Reception: Tuesday, February 12, 4:30-6:00 pm

East Hartford artist Raymond Majerski’s drawing series “Tyranny of Hypocrisy,” engages the Nazi persecution of homosexuals as a metaphor for contemporary gay male culture. The context of each scene transports the viewer into psychologically charged narratives that explore issues of power, conduct and conformity. Majerski’s works appropriate the hand drawn quality of German propaganda posters and the aged, sepia toned compositions of early 20th century photography. Each drawing transmits the aura of authenticity and preserves its subject as a historical document that records a persecution ever-present and perpetuated within gay male society.

The Pegasus Gallery is located on the first floor of Chapman Hall.

Hours: Monday & Wednesday – 5pm - 8pm and Saturday – 9:30am- 1:30pm
