Paul Shore's drawing of tubes of paint.

Paul Shore

Paul Shore has devoted himself to exhausting visual journeys. A recent journey, Drawn Home, demanded that he draw or sculpt every object in his home — an 800-work odyssey that ultimately revealed itself as more of a self-portrait than a series of still-lifes. His next operatic ventures include Manhattoland and Left-Handed Year.
