Pride: '26 Edition

Rubine Red Gallery is pleased to present Pride: ’26 Edition, an exhibition featuring four distinct collections by artist Troy Schooneman. Bringing together photography, constructed imagery, classical references, and imagined artefacts, the exhibition explores the male figure as a subject of beauty, cultural significance, memory, and identity.

Rooted in the historical tradition of the male nude in fine art, Pride: ’26 Edition considers the enduring power of the male form while examining how its meaning has evolved across centuries of artistic practice. Through four interconnected bodies of work, Schooneman moves between classical ideals, anonymous photographic studies, imagined histories, and intimate reflections on the passage of time.

With Pride: ’26 Edition, Schooneman revisits this rich artistic legacy through a contemporary lens, reclaiming space for the male figure as a subject worthy of serious artistic inquiry, emotional depth, and sustained visual attention.

Show runs November 1-15
