About this artwork
This piece channels raw intensity and sharp wit, blending the classical chaos of sinners tumbling into Hell with biting humour. I wanted to ignite reflection on art’s vitality and recognition, challenging the viewer with a provocative exchange and put to rest the self-serving nonsense about the young emerging (but cautious and conservative) artist. Call me a grumpy old man, but I call them the way I see them . . .

Bruce Eves was the recipient of the Governor-General’s Award for Outstanding Achievement in the Visual and Media Arts in 2018 and was the subject of Peter Dudar’s feature-length documentary “Bruce Eves in Polari” that premiered at The Power Plant. Eves was ranked 26th on the Alt-Power100 list compiled by ArtLyst (UK). In the past he was assistant-programming director at the Centre for Experimental Art and Communication (CEAC) in the late 1970s; and throughout the 1980s was the co-founder and chief archivist of the International Gay History Archive (now housed in the Rare Book and Manuscript division of the New York Public Library). Eves continues an active practice of exhibiting and curating on the cutting-edge, and in recent years has pushed the envelope further by expanding his work to include spoken-word projects performed monthly at the Black Eagle bar’s Dirty Queer Poetry Nights.
