Brooklyn-based artist Aaron Cobbett started his career in the 1980s a a window dresser at New York's famed Bergdorf Goodman department store.  Simultaneously participating in the vibrant East Village drag scene, this confluence of experiences - also within the context of the AIDS crisis - informed and shaped Cobbett's artistic practice. Working across textile, video, installation and photography, his color saturated, high concept portraits have become a cornerstone of New York queer visual culture.
