"Fontenot deftly unmasks the inherent queerness concealed beneath the fig leaves of mythology in his thought-provoking exhibition. “When I Think about a Minotaur” invites viewers to delve into the multifaceted narratives of Greek mythology, which symbolically explore the diverse spectrum of LGBTQ+ relationships and identities. The artist’s work emboldens mythology, not as an antiquated storytelling form, but rather as a vibrant and evolving commentary on human experiences and sexualities that defy societal norms."
