Gay artist schools someone who sent him hate mail in the best way possible
Conor Collins is a gay artist who painted a piece of work that went viral around the world; a picture of Caitlyn Jenner made out of the hateful comments that have been sent to her.
The British artist has turned something hateful into something beautiful again, but this time with his words instead of his artistic skills.
Conor made the Caitlyn picture by researching every hateful tweet and writing them on the canvas.
‘Caitlyn is making a difference to the trans community however I didn’t want to hide the darkness and persecution [trans people] face in my art piece,’ he said at the time, which was revealed in August of this year.
‘It was horrible having to research and write the tweets onto the canvas,’ Collins added. ‘To get through it I ended up working through half a bottle of whiskey and didn’t stop working on the painting till the small hours of the morning… For every person who sees it another person is shown the persecution and real danger trans people face.’
