Attend the opening reception for Tom Eslinger’s exhibit LEFT TO MY OWN DEVICES on Friday, January 17, 6:00-9:00pm.

In his new electrifying series, Tom Eslinger dives deep into the colorful tapestry of human experience, drawing inspiration from a kaleidoscope of influences that span decades. Imagine the sensory overload of his childhood disco singles collection, the rebellious thrill of sneaking peeks at David Bowie and Sylvester's tantalizing late-night TV performances as a teen, and more recently, deep-diving in the vivid stories captured in the Gay New York of the 1970s and ‘80s Facebook Group.  

Eslinger’s art pulses with the rhythms of songs, capturing the essence of sexual exploration, awkward one-night stands, visibility and sexual identity. The show, aptly titled Left To My Own Devices after a Pet Shop Boys song, embodies a cheeky, flirty spirit that resonates with authenticity and daring. The show’s title artwork provocatively asks, “Left to my own devices, I probably would…” —challenging viewers to contemplate the boundaries of desire and being a little bit bad. Whether you’re an art enthusiast, a music lover, or someone who relishes in the richness of visual narratives, Eslinger’s work invites you into a world that is as naughty as it is honest.  

RSVP for the opening reception on Friday, January 17, from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. at the link below:
