Northern Bear by Kenney Mencher
Kenney Mencher’s Northern Bear (24x36x1.5 inches, $1,200) is a body-positive celebration of queer masculinity. This oil-on-stretched-canvas masterpiece depicts a heavy, masculine bear, blending classical techniques with a modern understanding of inclusivity and pride. It’s a tribute to strength, softness, and the beauty of diverse bodies in queer culture. Check it out here.
The oil medium provides a lush texture, with Mencher layering his strokes to create depth and a tactile sense of presence. The colors are warm and earthy, featuring browns, ochres, and muted blues that ground the figure in a sense of intimacy and authenticity. The chiaroscuro shading sculpts the body with light and shadow, celebrating its curves and strength, while the painterly brushwork adds a dynamic energy to the piece. The composition uses the rule of thirds, placing the subject slightly off-center to draw the viewer’s eye and create balance within the asymmetrical arrangement.
A Celebration of Queer Ideals and Body Positivity
Northern Bear fits perfectly within queer ideology and gay men’s decor as a symbol of pride and representation. The bear archetype is celebrated here in all its glory, validating older gay men, bears, and anyone embracing body positivity. This isn’t just a portrait; it’s a narrative of self-acceptance and the celebration of non-traditional beauty. The juxtaposition of the heavy, grounded figure against the soft textures of the background highlights the tenderness and strength found within queer identity.
Kenney Mencher’s work stands out for its ability to elevate the everyday into the extraordinary. His focus on queer bodies and his use of classical painting techniques bring depth and emotional resonance to each piece. Northern Bear is a testament to his commitment to inclusivity, celebrating the beauty of diverse bodies with pride and artistry.

Why Kenney Mencher’s Champion is Great Gay Art 🌈🎨
Looking for a bold, statement-making piece that screams confidence and celebrates the power of queer masculinity? Look no further than Kenney Mencher’s Champion. At 30 x 40 inches and priced at $2,200, this oil-on-stretched-canvas masterpiece is a knockout—literally. Check it out here.
The medium, oil on canvas, gives Champion a luscious, tactile texture that captures every detail in the subject’s pose and expression. The thick, rich brushstrokes create a powerful sense of movement, as though this figure is about to leap off the canvas. The color palette is saturated and intense, with bold reds, earthy browns, and deep blues that convey strength and vitality. The chiaroscuro shading creates dramatic contrasts, emphasizing the athletic build and conveying a sense of depth and emotion. This isn’t just a painting—it’s a celebration of confidence and individuality, perfectly encapsulated in an unapologetically queer lens.
Style, Symbolism, and Why It’s Perfect for Your Space
Mencher’s style is naturalistic yet slightly stylized, capturing both the physical power and emotional depth of the subject. The lines are strong and deliberate, emphasizing the muscular form, while the asymmetrical composition keeps the eye engaged. The subject exudes confidence, with a hint of vulnerability, making it a perfect representation of modern queer masculinity.
This painting fits seamlessly into any gay man’s home, whether you’re rocking a sleek modern aesthetic or a cozy, bear-inspired den. Champion is more than art—it’s a reflection of queer strength, pride, and community. It celebrates body positivity, individuality, and the beauty of being unapologetically yourself.
Kenney Mencher: Master of Queer Storytelling
Kenney Mencher’s work stands out for its ability to tell deeply personal, queer-centered stories through classical techniques and bold, contemporary themes. Champion is no exception, showcasing his skill at blending realism with modern sensibilities to create art that resonates with LGBTQ+ audiences. Whether you’re a collector or just someone who loves bold, meaningful art, Champion is a must-have for your walls.
So, what are you waiting for? Add Champion to your collection and let it bring strength, pride, and a little bit of Mencher magic to your space. 🏋️‍♂️✨

"pride fish.”
2023. gouache on watercolor paper. 12 in. x 9 in.
happy pride! this is the first piece i have ever made using gouache, and i think it turned out well. i put a spin on clownfish by making them into actual clowns. to correlate with the rainbow fish in the middle, i made all the other fish in as many pride flag colors as possible. this piece was featured in issue 20 of botticelli magazine and was a part of chroma, an art exhibition at my college, for which I am super happy and grateful.
