Waiting, anticipating (2025) by Andy Sylvester Queer_Empowerment adorned with a pearl braceletMedium: Acrylic on panel Waiting, anticipating is a commanding portrait that captures the physicality and eroticism of queer leather culture. With bold strokes and a vivid palette, Andy Sylvester paints his subject in a chest harness, a jockstrap kneeling, legs spread, a Muir cap on the floor. He is waiting for something to begin, anticipating the pleasure of that moment. It is a moment of submission unapologetically strong and defiant in his stance.
