500-piece puzzle featuring artwork by Devan Shimoyama ✨

In Tempérance (2022), Devan Shimoyama portrays himself as a translucent and Bejeweled blue angel pouring liquid from one container to another—echoing the Tempérance tarot card that depicts water diluting wine as a symbolic act of restraint. It is ironic, perhaps, in that his use of color and materials are, more often than not, gloriously unrestrained. Abounding in fur, feathers, glitter, rhinestones, and sequins, Shimoyama engages with mythology, spiritual traditions, and classical composition to depict the Black, queer male body as both desirable and desirous.

Shimoyama lives in Pittsburgh, PA, and is represented by Kavi Gupta Gallery in Chicago.
