This Elegance

by Derrick Austin

2026

In Derrick Austin's latest collection, the sacred and the sensual intertwine, drawing inspiration from Renaissance art to create a vibrant dialogue between artists, thinkers, and icons. Through a "sacred conversation" featuring figures like Kathleen Collins, André Leon Talley, and Janelle Monáe, Austin grounds the experience of Black, queer identity in the present moment through pleasure and resistance. This is a profound exploration of Black artistry and visionary lives, celebrating beauty and offering solace even in uncertain times.
