P.P.O.W is pleased to present RUINS, Joe Houston’s first solo exhibition with the gallery since 1993, opening May 7 through June 5.

RUINS features his latest body of work centered on the damaged genitalia of ancient Greek and Roman statuaries as displayed in museums throughout Europe and North America. Rendered with virtuosity with oil on linen, Houston’s emasculated icons examine the persecution and presentation of male desire, while also addressing the veneration and censure of art an artifacts across time and cultures.

This exhibition will run concurrently with Erin M. Riley’s “The Consensual Reality of Healing Fantasies” which will be presented in the main galleries.
