Paul Endres Jr.: The 20/20 Shell Games

Paul Endres Jr. is back with the latest installment of his ongoing series The American Burden. This monumental – and entertaining – series depicts the sprawling narrative of a post-apocalyptic world in which all of history is lost. Endres’ paintings recount the pivotal events and figures of this fictional history, while offering a satirical take on our own. The 20/20 Shell Games is an investigation into identity, absurdity, and idiocy, through the lens of narrative painting, under a near-constant onslaught of media culture.
