‘Happier Than Ever,’ Shahryar Nashat’s (@afternoonmaster) second presentation with the gallery, features floor- and wall-based sculptures, including a selection of works from his newest series, ‘Lover.JPEG,’ as well as a major video installation. There is another kind of cruelty to lovers because they are out there for the thrill of it; to see what they might harvest for themselves of emotion and drama and other people's bodily fluids.—Text by Kristian Vistrup Madsen ‘Happier Than Ever’ will be on view September 17 through October 22, 2022. Join us for an opening reception on Saturday, September 17 from 6 until 8 PM at our Los Angeles gallery. Image: #ShahryarNashat, ‘Boyfriend_25.JPEG,’ 2022, acrylic gel, ink on paper, and plywood.
