PAUL P. "UNTITLED" WATERCOLOR, 2000
Paul P. (b. 1977) is a noted Canadian artist best known for his evocative figurative works that explore themes of intimacy and identity. With an international exhibition record, he is currently represented by Maureen Paley (London).
The artist's aesthetic and subject matter references both late 19th-century portraiture and pre-AIDS pornography. His subjects range from the anonymous young men in adult magazines to his friends, lovers, and family.
Paul P. works primarily with watercolor and oil paint, using these mediums to capture fleeting moments of sensual connection as if suspended in memory. His practice fluctuates between illustration and expressionism, resulting in an evocative and dynamic visual language that extends to a spectrum of subject matter.
"Bull Face" features a close crop portrait of a man, the upper half of his face concealed by a latex mask. The man fills the center of the composition with a forward gaze and stern expression. The scene is amplified by a warm palette of ochre, florescent red, and merlot, that intensifies his commanding presence. Although difficult to capture through our photography, the background of the work has a slightly iridescent gold shimmer.
Paul P.'s work was included in the 2014 Whitney Biennial and can be found in the permanent collections of several public collections including the MoMA (NYC), the Art Gallery of Ontario (Toronto), the Glenbow Museum (Calgary), and the Brooklyn Museum.
