ANGELO 01 - Drag Collage Canvas - Tim Lienhard Edition
ANGELO 01 – When Drag Meets Desire
This collage shows what defines Tim Lienhard’s art: it disturbs, it seduces, it empowers. The same drag figure repeats, multiplies – a staging between performance and intimate moment. Hand-colored, visually charged, uncompromisingly direct.
Neon yellow, pink, red, and black collide in a composition that unites pop art and queer art. The blonde wig, the sunglasses, the black gloves – all codes of a confident performance. And in between: a male body that confides, that reveals itself, that becomes part of this drag fantasy.
What makes this work so powerful is the tension between sexiness and vulnerability. The censorship fields (removed in the print) show: nothing is hidden here, but consciously made visible. Desire is not consumed, but shaped and appropriated.
Tim Lienhard has been working for years with self-portraits, selfies, and found imagery. His collages are hand-colored, exaggerated, and emotionally charged. They celebrate presence, pleasure, and the freedom to show oneself beyond normative labels.

Nothing is more beautiful than...
In Japan, during the annual fertility festival, they parade giant symbolic phalluses through the city. I confess, I, being crazy about cocks, wish we had this gesture in our culture too. As boys, we wake up one morning with a wooden feeling between our legs, and from then on, there's no peace. During puberty, it stands up at every inappropriate moment, no matter what we're thinking. Later, it reminds us every morning, having turned into a latte, that it controls us. That's no real excuse for harassing women with dick pics. But as gay men, we at least have one privilege: we are quite free to show each other our tools and be ecstatic about the other's. To art that elevates our fantasy
