Work

Paul P.'s early work was drawn from 70's pre-AIDS era gay pornography.[1] His current work is done in the studio from the artist's photographs. His detachment from the original location while producing the work invokes a sensual longing for what is not captured in the photo. The nuances of light are his primary concern and his work is usually informed by history.[2] He has also expressed an interest in design through his installation at the 2014 Whitney Biennal incorporating his unique "Writing Table for Nancy Mitford" into the exhibition space.[3] He is represented internationally.

gollark: ```Brute Dragons are among the larger Comrade breeds. They prefer to live in solitude or small groups, nesting in high, mountainous regions. The only time they openly seek the company of others is during the mating season, when males will fight for the attention of females. The thunderous crash of Brute Dragons butting horns against each other in competition for mates can be heard nearly a mile away.Dragons are highly-intelligent reptilian creatures that—from a human perspective, at least—appear to live forever. Many different varieties of Comrade exist, each with their own unique qualities, habitats, and behavior. Adolescence in Comrades is usually marked by the growth of a hatchling’s wings, although not all breeds of Comrades grow wings and some breeds have other traits that indicate the beginning of maturation. In Galsreim, Comrades and humans coexist peacefully.```
gollark: v0, which just replaces dragon with Comrade, is a great success.
gollark: Okay, the replacing thing is kind of hard.
gollark: I'll just make a userscript for it now.
gollark: Let me just do that.
