Alexander Gray Associates presents Steve Locke: I said what I said , an exhibition of recent paintings, sculptures, and neon. Returning to questions of sexuality and desire, racial violence, the politics of looking, and the conventions of portraiture and modernism, the exhibition brings together lines of inquiry Locke has sustained and reworked for decades. Such longevity is notable; rather than settling into fixed styles or closed chapters, these bodies of work remain active, registering shifting formal and political conditions. Their evolution spans the AIDS crisis, the culture wars of the 1990s, and the renewed attacks on Black and Queer lives unfolding today. Less a response to the present than a declaration of persistence, I said what I said affirms both what has endured and what painting can still make newly visible.
