    Although Nayland Blake’s work frequently includes themes such as his self-described pansexuality, his biracial identity, and sadomasochism, these potentially weighty topics are tempered by his robust sense of humor. Blake delights in blurring categories and mixing metaphors, from a cabin made of gingerbread that recalls the dark tale of Hansel and Gretel to a rabbit suit that symbolizes the stereotype of gay promiscuity, he mixes whimsy with painful sub-contexts. His work is in collections of NY MoMa; Whitney Museum; Studio Museum of Harlem; LA MoCA; Museum of fine arts, Boston; SF MoMA, and the DeYoung Museum.
