About Lenore Chinn<\/code>
\nLenore Chinn began painting when she was growing up in San Francisco\u2019s Richmond district, focusing on portraiture to explore the super-realistic depiction of a wide spectrum of people of color, lesbians and same sex couples. Employing a coded iconography rooted in a lesbian\/gay cultural perspective. In 2011 Lenore\u00a0published her first\u00a0monograph titled ‘CULTURAL CONFLUENCES: the Art of Lenore Chinn’.
\nChinn\u2019s inclusion in Harmony Hammond\u2019s Lesbian Art in America: A Contemporary History, the first study of American lesbian visual artists, vastly expanded her national visibility. Her portraits documenting the historical evolution of San Francisco\u2019s queer community challenge the social conventions that currently constitute the racialized order of things. She is included in Encyclopedia of Asian American Artists published by Greenwood Press in 2007. The artist has been a founding member of Lesbians in the Visual Arts and Queer Cultural Center and is affiliated with the Asian American Women Artists\u2019 Association.<\/p>\n
