31 Works of Art From 2017 That Challenge and Stimulate

From revolutionary artworks that depict rage at the system to delicate pieces that celebrate our unique sensibilities, the art that appeared on Advocate.com in 2017 showed that we are feisty, sensual, and that we are original thinkers.

Advocate.com is lucky to have ongoing relationships with many of the artists we feature, so that as the years go by we can revisit them and see their evolution. A few of the people we are especially grateful to are Ruben Esparza for keeping us connected with the thriving LGBT/Latino art scene in Los Angeles, Miguel Angel Reyes for not only being an art star but for sending new talent our way, Sandro Kortekaas of Galerie Mooi-Man for providing a link to so many international artists, and then the artist whose work we will review year after year to check their progress and vision as their work matures.
