Currently on view! Gabe Cortese’s solo exhibition ‘Nothing Good Happens at Night’ is currently on view through December 3, 2022. Gabe Cortese’s paintings reflect worlds built around queer narratives that explore yearning and affection through a lens of comedy and drama. He frequently incorporates familiar compositions found throughout art history, particularly religious paintings from the Renaissance and Mannerist periods. Cortese subverts the motifs found during those periods, like The Dead Christ or The Adoration of Christ, by using those themes to develop narratives around queerness, sexuality, and relationships. The figures found in Cortese’s paintings are an amalgamation of aspects of his and his partner’s bodies, using this avatar to investigate the themes found within his works. @gabecortese @mblosangeles #GabeCortese #mblosangeles #mbgallery
