Some written commentary on the show:
Matt Pazzol had a show of drawings and prints at two locations in Athens simultaneously. The larger drawings which were displayed in Perks Coffee House were my favorites. His darkly whimsical figures posed in an exhaustive array of unabashed anything-goes sexual attitudes can be read as a hermetically conceived kama sutra for the new millennium. The figures are stacked in compromising relationships upon each other, their black silhouettes overlapping to create velvety black forms contrasted upon expanses of white. The ambiguously gendered androgynous or hermaphroditic beings are characterized primarily by their genitals, by mounds of paltry buttocks and thin straps for limbs. Most of the personages wear nifty, pointy booties upon their undersized feet, and virtually all the figures are bald, their heads often squared. The most recent and most successful pieces contain stylized clouds of swirling mist, a layer of patterned and subtly shifting grey tones which fetchingly complicate the field of visual information while contributing a suggestion of metaphysical content.
