Opening Reception for Strange Obsessions.

D’Elia’s solo exhibition Strange Obsessions marks his long awaited return to Cella Gallery in NoHo.  The show features all new work including large-scale prints and collage, along with a large interactive installation piece.

“Paul’s work is executed with a level of sophistication, command of design, sense of composition and a wink and a nod that so often eludes others.  Paul’s work demands the viewer’s full attention,” says Andrew Jaukmauh.

Also on view at Cella Gallery:  a collection of prints, books and tees from some of our favorite artists including Tara McPherson, Alex Pardee, Dave Correia and Thea Saks.

ABOUT THE ARTIST
