“This was a time when wayward youth, outcasts, and artists could show up, join forces, make new rules, work little, and live free.” -Chloe Sherman
During the early 90s, fine art photographer Chloe Sherman began documenting a generation of young, self-identified queers in San Francisco, capturing their collective creativity, pride, and strident defiance of cultural norms.
Chloe’s photographs from “RENEGADES San Francisco: the 1990s” not only introduce viewers to a group of uniquely San Francisco queers during the 1990s, but reflect a nuanced view of an evolving community, offering a glimpse of the freedom and flamboyance of gender bending, hopeful, fashionable young people during a pivotal time in SF queer history.
Chloe Sherman lives and works in the Bay Area. Her work stems from a deep commitment to capturing the vibrancy, resilience, tenderness, and joy that she sees in people, particularly within subcultures marginalized or derided by mainstream society.
A few RENEGADES FOG Fair edition prints remain. Exclusive to FOG, the gallery is offering framed special edition 1 of 1 archival prints of 13 of Chloe Sherman’s most iconic photographs.
