Mel Odom — Gorgeous! presents a selection of paintings and drawings shaped by the American artist’s desire, a pageantry of bold, sensual figures and pop superstars cast in Odom’s trademark precision. ‘I drew who I wished I was’, he says, a transplant from the rural South enamoured with the shirtless ‘clones’ of New York’s Christopher Street. Edited by Luis Venegas in collaboration with Odom, this monograph spans the entirety of Odom’s career to date, charting the evolution from his early commissions for Timeand Playboy to his most recent works.
