LOST/LUST
13 JUNE - 05 JULY 2025

Paolo Sisiano, Little Lies, 2024, Acrylic on Canvas, 30x40 inches
Lost/Lust unfolds across two levels, each offering a distinct register of the emotional terrain Paolo Sisiano continues to explore.
On the lower level, the works move with a quieter pull. Figures shift, search, and drift apart. Glances do not meet. Gestures hover, holding longing in the space between presence and absence. Beneath the softness, the ache remains…unresolved.
Above, the mood gathers weight. Colors deepen, gestures grow bolder. Figures lean closer, nearly merging. Desire folds into proximity and heat, yet the restlessness persists.
Threaded through both spaces is a quiet reckoning with selfhood. The works suggest not only longing for connection, but the pull of multiple lives unfolding at once. Identities cross, diverge, and attempt to reconcile. The question lingers whether one version is more true, or whether all can exist in parallel.
Alongside the gestural works, Sisiano introduces a series of tightly composed line drawings. Here, movement gives way to rhythm, repetition, and structure. These images read like moments of signal interference, where emotional charge translates into pattern, as though the artist is tuning into a frequency that never fully settles. Both languages circle the same interior space—one fluid, one seeking clarity—each tracing the layered complexity of desire and becoming.
Lost/Lust invites the viewer into this suspended space. A place where reaching and retreating coexist. Where longing shapes not only how we seek others, but how we encounter ourselves
