RINALDO HOPF 26.05 - 23.06 THE BALLERY 2017
POSTCARDS FROM L.A.
The Berlin artist, publisher (Mein schwules Auge) and curator Earlier in the year, Rinaldo Hopf was Artist in Residence at the Tom of Finland Foundation in Los Angeles. There he had the opportunity to study the works of Tom of Finland in detail: from Tom's material collections and scrapbooks, through numerous preliminary studies to the perfect masterpieces. Inspired by Tom's works, the house with its subtropical garden and extraordinary inhabitants, as well as the immediate neighborhood of Hollywood, he created an orgy panorama in cinemascope format. Here blacks, whites, cowboys and hippies hover between palm trees and orange trees in orgiastic lust. The exhibition is rounded off by numerous detailed and natural studies of the colorful Los Angeles Universe in postcard size, golden portraits of Hollywood stars like Greta Garbo and James Franco and a large scale banner with the portrait of a 'Tom's' Man
