Description"Paul Mpagi Sepuya bases his work in portraiture, storytelling, and homoerotic visual culture. He investigates the role of the studio as a social environment by staging photographs with his friends, partners, and lovers as subjects and employing mirrors and collage techniques. This unique print is part of the Figure series, and has never been shown or published until now. Sepuya received his BFA from New York University Tisch School of the Arts in 2004 and his MFA from the University of California Los Angeles in 2016." (SOURCE: Light Work, Syracuse, NY)
