: Paul Vogeler

Featured in our current exhibition, PAIN AND GLORY, Paul Vogeler continues with an ongoing search for the physical symbols that reveal an eternal spiritual realm and mirror the feeling of being human. In his work, Vogeler is able to transcend the obvious to connect with our most profound sentiments of desire and possession, lying between life and death in connection with that ultimate sense of divinity.

: Claudia Bitrán

Driven by labor, affect, humor, and destruction, the artist catapults herself into the hyperbolic world of pop with the task of deconstructing and rewriting mega-known spectacles.

"I both fantasize as a fan, and sever as a critic, frantically attempting to introduce subjectivity and alternative realities into the highly calculated systems of mass consumption,” Bitrán explains.

: Kubra Khademi

Featured in our upcoming exhibition, PAIN AND GLORY, Kubra Khademi's recent body of work is inspired by the poem of the Persian poet Rumi titled “Hole of Prayers.” Specifically created for the exhibition, Khademi continues manifesting how literature, poetry, and the oral expressions in popular Afghan culture fuel inspiration in her visual practice.

: Eckart Hahn

Hahn's work explores subjects of animals and objects as they interact with ropes and chains. His work has been tied to S*M culture, where an emphasis on trust and confidence plays a role in the mastery and submission that the ropes represent. These binaries stand out, either by the artist living in a paradoxical society, or through the relationship between nature and culture, the power play of freedom and control, or of authenticity and artificiality.

Pablo's Birthday is thrilled to announce our upcoming summer group exhibition, PAIN AND GLORY, featuring Claudia Bitrán, Eckart Hahn, Kubra Khademi, Seyhr Qayum, and Paul Vogeler.

The works in this exhibition resonate with fetishistic significance, where the visual images are venerated as representational objects and believed to have magical or supernatural potency.

Join us June 22nd through July 22nd ✨✨✨
