Ledroit I Tiffany Wint I Fine Grain Cotton Oil Paper

£285.00

Original Oil on Canvas (Comes Framed)

Size: 23cm x 31cm

Some people don’t get to be themselves everywhere.

This portrait captures Detective Michael Ledroit, a character from Netflix’s Eric, in a moment of quiet return. A gay Black man navigating 1980s New York, Ledroit lives a life rigidly divided: fully himself only behind closed doors, while the world outside, and the homophobic institution he works within demands he remain hidden.

The painting finds him in a place he once knew freely, now visited in secret. That tension lives in his stillness. Nothing is stated. Everything is felt. Ledroit’s story is fictional, but the experience is not. This work is for everyone who has ever had to decide which version of themselves is safe to bring into the room.
