Born and raised in New Orleans, Pauly Lingerfelt attended the New Orleans Center for Creative Arts and has been producing paintings, drawings, and collages since. His work is unified by his fascination with the atrophied beauty of past traditions and the antique modes of life that have been abandoned by society at large— The great Cowboy swilling bottled whiskey burn, lingering in early mythic America’s frontiersman cattle carcass ghost towns dabbed with pale flames & streaked with shadows whose origins lie across the great verdigris body where the laudanum-imbued and slightly bookish mysticism of the Rimbaud and the Jarry doused the jolly “belle epoque” with word and whisper of poetic filigree intimating an exquisite corpse left in the wake of decadence.
