P. emerged in the early 2000s as a leading artist of his generation, forging what critic Johanna Fateman calls a \"libidinal-conceptual practice\" anchored in the archive. This self-titled monograph pairs his jewel-toned portraits (sourced from a cache of 1970s gay erotica) with other recurring motifs: sculptures in the form of furniture, architectural abstractions and atmospheric near-monochromes--some flecked with images of bats in flight, a potent symbol of transience and desire.","brand":"Gregory R.
