Paul Anagnostopoulos: Transfer My Tragedy [Online]
3301 W Washington Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90018
Thursday, April 7 at 11:00 AM 5:00 PM
Ends May 10, 2022
Drawing from the distinguishable iconographies of ancient Greek and Roman mythology, gay erotica, and personal heartbreak, Transfer My Tragedy features seven new paintings by Paul Anagnostopoulos that explore sensual stories for the modern age. Visually sourcing from the cyberspace aesthetics of 90s era videogames and animations alongside retropop cultural markers such as vaporwave and neon noir, each work channels kitsch as it embraces classic myths, legends, and the human side of the masculine form. Desire, longing, and adoration vibrate through each hot magenta sky as moments of melancholy, bittersweet love and heavenly pleasure unfold across the surface. Recurring references to nostalgia, catharsis, and the cyclical nature of time—each energetic hue defies timelessness—bridge the present and the past in unorthodox harmony.
