Arranged in chronological order. the exhibition is a dilly ing array of the talent and intellect that Paolo/Ii iny'ested in his work. Paolo/Ii took the tenets of surrealism and estended them to help create and deyelop Pop Art. The collages and screen prints on display are testament to the inspiration he derived from popular culture and his determination that there is no limit to the imagination. The central motifs in Paolo/It‘s work emerge as soldiers. clocks and space tray el; today they produce a potent nostalgia. Paolo/Ii was able to not only deconstruct the barrier between high and low art btit also the human body to expose its frailty. Dynamic. inspiring arid faultless.
