About this artwork
Lusty Lovelace is a London drag performer, telling stories through their costumes and creature-like appearances. This painting shows Lusty in their dressing room, wig removed, in the process of returning to their ‘normal’ state after a show. They look at the artist in a striking transition from drag creature to ‘normal’ passing person. This oil painting explores the link between performing identity in drag and how we interact and perform as ourselves…
in the world. The proximity between performance on and off stage reminds us that we are only as true to an identity in so far as how we perform it.
