Park View/Paul Soto

Park View/Paul Soto is a contemporary art gallery located in Los Angeles, CA, showcasing a diverse range of artists and exhibitions. Their latest solo exhibition, "A marker, or maybe more.," features the works of Elliott Jamal Robbins, an Oklahoma City-born artist known for his hand-painted animated films and watercolors that challenge conventional notions of identity, gender, and sexuality. Through a combination of vibrant compositions and thought-provoking narratives, Robbins invites viewers to confront and connect with the political and social structures that shape our lives.

With a focus on queering liminal moments and exploring the intersections of blackness and masculinity, Robbins' artworks offer a high-energy vernacular collage that blurs the boundaries between personal experiences and the history of western civilization. The exhibition at Park View/Paul Soto includes a trio of hand-painted animations, large-scale watercolors, and a grid of small-scale watercolors, all of which showcase Robbins' mastery of composition and his ability to create a sense of mystery and shadowiness. Through his works, Robbins invites viewers to imagine and shape-shift reality while navigating external and internal markers that define our existence.
