Chloë Lind: Paul Mescal, Legs, and the Language of Cultural Obsession
Exploring cultural voyeurism, fandom, and bodies in motion
This series explores contemporary cultural voyeurism, drawing inspiration from paparazzi images of Paul Mescal — casual, candid images of him moving through public space. While playful on the surface, the work considers the tension between admiration, objectification, and anonymity, reflecting both the celebrity gaze and the subtler versions of public observation that unfold in city life. The paintings blend humor and discomfort, sitting at the intersection of contemporary figurative art, fashion, and urban voyeurism.
