Boys at La Cage captures a fleeting, intimate moment inside La Cage, a historic gay nightclub in Milwaukee. Two shirtless figures stand at the bar, their backs turned, bodies angled in a tension that suggests curiosity, caution, or desire. One wears a full sleeve tattoo, the other lingers just close enough for connection or confrontation. Reflections in the mirrored wall multiply the stillness, adding a voyeuristic undertone. Painted in rich, atmospheric tones with flashes of neon, the piece explores queer nightlife not as spectacle, but as a space of charged presence—where identity, power, and emotion move in quiet negotiation.
