Paul Rizzo is a painter and sketchbook filler who lives and works in Provincetown Massachusetts. He works with and from 70s and early 80s gay porn, portraiture, abstraction, houses and text. His work is also about a nostalgia both for a time he lives in and a time he has not technically lived through. He is obsessed with the past specifically old Hollywood and the 1970s. A process painter, he loves getting lost in documenting and/or the making of art.
