Breitbart Senior Editor Milo Yiannopoulos will premiere original artwork at Lucian Wintrich’s pro-Trump New York art show, #DaddyWillSaveUs on October 8th along with a host of other prominent conservative figures.
The show, which is currently selling tickets on IndieGoGo to raise the necessary funds to pay for the event, will feature Wintrich’s iconic “Twinks4Trump” photoshoot, as well as a series of new installations.
Milo is a featured artist at the event, and will submit an original piece of artwork to the show. Conservative commentator and Vice co-founder Gavin McInnes and pharmaceutical entrepreneur and leftist folk villain Martin Shkreli will also submit pieces.
Additional contributors include Martin Shkreli, James O’Keefe, the Godesky Brothers, Jon Proby, Sebastian Sommer, and more.
“I think this exhibition will fight the dogma of a single accepted political ideology among artists and the creative class as a whole,” said Wintrich, the New York City resident behind Twinks4Trump.
“I lost my job, received copious death threats, and to add insult to injury, close to a hundred people unfriended me on Facebook. Folks can’t handle that I’m a Trump supporter with immaculate taste.”
Wintrich will be auctioning off art pieces at the event, with 30% of the proceeds going towards the American Military Partner Association.
“Who knew that the way to be on the cutting edge of controversy in the art world would be to support Donald Trump?” said Breitbart’s Milo Yiannopoulos on the event. “The LBGT community’s response to Lucian and his fellow artists is embarrassing. How can a movement dedicated to expression, pride and diversity be so dead set against diversity of opinion?”
“Art is one of those areas of culture that has been dominated by the left for decades, because the left used to represent the rebellious and the avant-garde. Now, of course, it represents the establishment, and its conservatives and Trump supporters who are the new renegades.”
“I am proud to lend my artistic talents to Lucian’s project along with many others in a personal statement of support for Donald Trump and making America great again.”

NEW YORK, September 26th — Lucian Wintrich’s sensual “Twinks4Trump” photographs featured at the Republican National Convention have attracted international attention and outrage within the LBGT community. The series of photographs feature thin, hairless, scantily clad young men wearing “Make America Great Again” hats.Following the success of Wintrich’s photo series, he has scouted other conservative artists and performers across America to submit additional pieces to the first ever curated conservative art show in America, #DaddyWillSaveUs.The opening for #DaddyWillSaveUs will be held at 191 North, 14th Street, Brooklyn, New York October 8th starting at 8pm ET.Headlining speakers and contributors for the opening include outspoken gay conservative Milo Yiannopoulos and Vice co-founder Gavin McInnes. Additional contributors include Martin Shkreli, James O’Keefe, the Godesky Brothers, Jon Proby, Sebastian Sommer, and more.“I think this exhibition will fight the dogma of a single accepted political ideology among artists and the creative class as a whole,” said Wintrich, the New York City resident behind Twinks4Trump.“I lost my job, received copious death threats, and to add insult to injury, close to a hundred people unfriended me on Facebook. Folks can’t handle that I’m a Trump supporter with immaculate taste.”Wintrich’s photographs were originally featured at a sold-out event, “Wake Up” organized by gay Trump supporters to draw attention to the threat of Islamism as a gay rights issue following the massacre of 49 at a gay nightclub in Orlando.Full, large format prints of Wintrich’s work will be available at silent auction at the exhibition, with 30% of proceeds doing to American Military Partner Association, the nation’s largest organization for the partners, spouses, and families of America’s LGBT service members.
“I made the series to attack the oppressive progressives and further pave the way for younger voters to reject the dogma that they must buy into ideologies simply because they are told to. We’ve seen how that plays out in history,” said Wintrich.“Since the publicity behind my work, many other conservative artists have reached out to me in solidarity – that’s when I had the idea to bring us together for one spectacular exhibition.”
“Personally, my series works to dispel stereotypes with in the gay community and Republican party at the same time, it serves as a subversive force against the myth of the left dominating the art world. I am having fun with it, and progressives are furious.”Wintrich adds, “MAGA (Make AmericaGreat Again) hats have become the new Campbell’s soup cans.”
