"Queer Icons" of Color Depicted as Saints by LGBT Mexican-American Photographer/printmaker in "To My Father: Gabriel García Román" at Gallery Aferro in Newark NJ

Gallery Aferro is pleased to present Gabriel García Román’s first solo show, To My Father. Roman has already garnered national press for his stunning chine-collé and photogravure portraits of LGBT and non-conforming activists, poets, and artists of color, depicting his subjects as contemporary Queer Icons. Román was born in Zacatecas, Mexico. Photography allows him to explore aspects of his identity and decode the world he lives in. Queer. Mexican. American. Immigrant. Secular.
