Rinaldo Hopf : SUBVERSIVE : January 13 - 29, 2005

Featured, will be a selection of Erotic Portraits from the International Art and Queer Scenes, out of his latest book, SUBVERSIV, with an Introduction by Thomas Sokolowski of The Andy Warhol Museum in Pittsburgh, and text by Gay Cartoonist, Ralf Koenig. (Konkursbuch 2004)

This exhibition will also feature his scandalous series of male nudes drawn on original movie posters using Gold Leaf & Ink. This lyrical blend of golden men as a subject for defacing actual promotional graphics, lends itself to his own personal graffiti/glorification. Thus set against authentic elements of pop culture, creates a new collectibility in and of itself.

Grand Prize Winner of the 2004 Neo-Erotique juried exhibition, Art @ Large, New York, (curated by: Grady T. Turner). Mr. Hopf lives & works in Berlin, and has exhibited widely in Europe. His last solo exhibition in the USA was, Golden Queers, Wessel + O´Connor Gallery, New York City, 1998.
