Nick Sethi Is Still Trapped Between Sexual Deviance and Self-Expression

The amalgamation of public and private life is a common theme and frequent motivator of artist Nick Sethi's work. So when we received the invite to his latest exhibition via a show flyer composed of a couple of text messages (pictured above), we weren't surprised.

In his latest body of work, Olympia (named after the famed Manet painting), Nick finds himself, once again, in a holding pattern between sexual deviance and self-expression. Through the curated works, which were culled from over 10,000 photos (mainly sleazy selfies), Nick explores his own intellectual inquiry into the digital through the once-personal lives of these subjects. Here's a couple of sneak peaks (which were also sent via text):
