About The Event
Los Angeles, CA – May 23, 2019 – contemporary artist John Paul Fauves will release his latest art series, "Alts iz Farloyrn" in the Hollywood Hills on May 23 at 7:00 pm. This is John Paul Fauves' first ever solo show on the West Coast. "Alts iz Farloyrn" will feature 12 never before seen large-scale mixed media paintings, sculptures, and his famous art masks on live models.
Inspired by American idols James Dean and Steve McQueen, "Alts iz Farloyrn,” which translates to "All is Lost," was Steve McQueen’s first ever line on stage and represents Fauves own struggle with losing it all yet discovering his true self. “Alts iz Farloyrn” dives deep into the darkness that surrounded James Dean and Steve McQueen and explores their need to live fast. Through this new series, viewers are reminded that although both men overcame challenges to become the Hollywood elite, they struggled to mentally escape their troubled childhood and demons.
Recognized internationally for his Neo-Pop Expressionism, Fauves paintings deal with identity through art, mainstream culture and social media. About this series, Fauves says “I have personally lost it all and what I’ve learned is when you lose it all you can win it all again and create a new beginning!”
Celebrities and press are expected to attend this exclusive exhibition on May 23rd. Opportunities to meet the artist + one-on-one VIP viewings are available on the 22nd by appointment only.
Presented and curated by JM Art Management in collaboration with Noctem Group.
