“In @paulmccarthyyy’s latest display of desire, violence and gore at Hauser & Wirth Los Angeles, the carnal undercurrents beneath human behavior are on full display. As the line between entertainment and reality blurs, McCarthy’s drawings reveal the revolting violence that threatens countless women. In frenzied drawings, executed on a scale larger than life, male figures exert control and physical and sexual violence against female figures. Drawing the line between artist studio and Hollywood stage, these drawings developed from a video series with the German actress Lilith Stangenberg, inspired in part by the 1974 sadomasochistic erotic film The Night Porter, directed by Lilian Cavani.” Check out @luc_likes full review for @contentsculture at the link in bio 🖤 Thank you @hauserwirth
