Hotel Gaythering, a gay-owned boutique hotel in Miami Beach, has revealed a new art installation by artist DePaul Vera. The theme is called “Happy to See You Bathroom Mural.” Gaythering, an adults-only hotel and sauna for men, commissioned the piece after seeing Vera’s flamboyantly colorful Dickmarks series of illustrated bookmarks. Vera, a Nashville, Tennessee-native is a designer, illustrator, and color enthusiast chose monochromatic line drawings for the work, which is a compilation of dick pics submitted by local Miami Beach men, drawn in exaggerated scale, and brought to life in the hotel’s new bathroom interior. The new work was also inspired by Keith Haring’s iconic mural, “Once Upon a Time, 1989,” which the gay graphic artist painted on the walls of the Greenwich Village’s LGBTQ+ Center’s second floor bathroom shortly before his death from AIDS-complications in 1990. Alexander Guerra, who co-owns Hotel Gaythering, recently viewed the Haring mural and says he instantly knew he wanted DePaul to immerse [the] men’s bathroom walls. Guerra said “I wanted the Gaythering bathroom to be a celebration of DePaul and his vision of penis — big, small, the hours admiring our own, catching glimpses of others, and the hours and hours some of us have spent on Pornhub.” Vera said “As a Black queer cis male, I am overjoyed to present my work unabashedly in all its vulgarity.” Everyone at Queer News Tonight encourages you to visit Miami Beach and stop buy for the view in person.
