Paul D’Agostino is an artist, writer, professor, curator, critic and translator. He incorporates language, writing and ideas about translation into his drawings, paintings, and other visual projects. In 2013, he translated paint stains on his studio floor into a series of ink drawings that were exhibited in "Twilit Ensembles," his first Manhattan solo show, at Pocket Utopia on the Lower East Side. D'Agostino's work, which hovers between cartoon imagery and abstraction, has been lauded for a baroque sensibility, vivid imagination, and sardonic wit. New York Times art critic Roberta Smith said his drawings "deftly mine the territory between Marcel Duchamp and Dr. Seuss." Later he went on to create Chromatic Alphabet, a system of painted geometric shapes representing letters A-Z, a piece that was included in "Scriptive Formalities," a solo show at Life on Mars, in Brooklyn, NY. In an interview at The Huffington Post, D’Agostino said that the more he got involved in learning other languages the more he became passionate about the structure of the English language. In 2017, in “Foofaraw & Spleen” a two-person show at The Lodge Gallery in New York, he presented a series of gentle watercolor paintings of fruit and flowers combined with snippets of handwritten narratives that blurred the line between fact and fiction, determination, emotion, and repudiation. He has also had exhibitions at Silas Von Morisse Gallery, Slag Gallery, and Notre Maar, among others, both in the U.S. and abroad.
