Meet the queer artist, Jakob Rowlinson, exploring masculinity with Medieval symbols:
, an odyssey of gay mirth, mysticism and memory, which opens with the invocation:"You say to the boy open your eyes / When he opens his eyes and sees the light / You make him cry out. Saying / O Blue come forth / O Blue arise / O Blue ascend / O Blue come in.
Heraldic pattern becomes a nod to codes of masculinity;"in many of my heraldry-inspired pieces, I exaggerate the decorative patterns derived from medieval designs in order to draw attention to this flamboyance and the 'effeminate' traits of medieval masculinity," Jakob says. These patterns take on a new life in hot pink felt — becoming a backdrop to flayed, erotic bodies or languid limbs shedding scarlet drops of blood — beaded and celebrated and gesturing towards the viewer.
Reflecting on his work, which resonates not only in the studio but across the internet, he notes the way in which marginalia often blended"different genders, bizarre animals, and playing with sexual references in an incredibly fluid manner […] in many ways, marginalia therefore operate like memes.
