Paul P: Love and Morse
February 10 – June 11, 2023
Paul P.’s distinctive art practice digs into the past, connecting historical eras with contemporary times on the cusp of change. His paintings, sculptures, prints and drawings are similar to neoclassical sculptures of the 1700s, James McNeill Whistler (1834–1903), the arch mannerism of the poet Robert de Montesquieu (1855–1921), and famous places such as Venice, Italyand its modern counterparts, venice beach, CaliforniaThe basis of his artistic project is an extensive series of portraits of young men, appropriated from pre-AIDS erotic photography. The series has an affinity with a particular artist’s work in the late 1800s, rebelling against prevailing morals of the time and promoting a secret language of cryptic homosexuality.
Here, a group of 30 recently acquired works created by Paul P. between 2003 and 2019 serve as portals for time travel between periods in art history. In this way they form a dialogue with other works selected from the gallery’s collection.
