strub

Jonah Strub is a Toronto based, gay, Jewish, gluten sensitive artist who works predominantly in the realms of painting, sculpture, and ceramics. His artwork is a visual love letter to the aesthetics of camp, kitsch, musical theatre, Yiddish humour, and drag. Jonah’s practice centers around the ideas of gender expression and visibility. Specifically, his art explores his relationship to his own femininity, where he uses his drag alter ego, Loxanne Creamcheese, to find power in his flamboyancy and visually assert himself in a way that is, dare I say it, impossible to ignore. 

By using humour, bright colours, animal prints, Muppets, and bushels of body hair, Jonah hopes to create conversations around the true meanings of masculinity, femininity, and outrageous up-dos in a society that has too many gender restrictions and not enough cheetah print.
