"The loved object does not move; it is the amorous subject who, at a certain moment, departs"
Roland Barthes, A Lover's Discourse.
‘Beloved Object & Amorous Subject, Revisited,’ published by envoy, is Paul Mpagi Sepuya’s first limited edition monograph.
Through a minimalist approach, in which everything is omitted that could distract from the subject, Paul Mpagi Sepuya renders his subjects with great integrity. A strong pallet of skin colors and connections between people, heightens the powerful impact of his work.
This unique publication has been featured in publications such as The New York Times Style Magazine and OUT and was most recently reviewed by Vince Aletti for the current issue of PHOTOGRAPH magazine.
The artist will be signing his limited edition monograph at Printed Matter on Saturday July 26th. Signing, reception and drinks from 5 - 7pm.
Printed Matter, Inc . 10th Avenue at 21st Street . NYC
