Paul P. Canadian, b. 1977

Born in 1977 in Canada, P. earned his BFA from York University, and later worked as a studio assistant for the renowned artist Stephen Andrews. In 2001, he exhibited his first portraits of young men, many of which were inspired by source material from the Canadian Lesbian and Gay Archive. P. currently lives and works between Paris, France and New York, NY. In recent years the artist’s interests in transience, desire, cataloging, and notation has expanded to include landscapes and their abstraction, and to sculptural works in the form of furniture.

Today, his works are held in the collections of The Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Art Gallery of Ontario in Toronto, and the Brooklyn Museum, among others.
