Laura (the gallery) is pleased to present a solo exhibition by Philadelphia-based artist Anthony Iacono, featuring a series of the artist’s signature cut-paper collages. Iacono uses carefully-washed and sliced paper to create ambiguous depictions of queer bodies, at once mysterious and erotic. Iacono’s moody and suggestive compositions at first appear to be digital images or airbrush paintings, but on closer inspection, they reveal crisp cuts and careful assembly. In this series of works, hands become Iacono’s primary subject of exploration. Hands filch objects from the jackets of unwitting victims, caress bodies, and play with treasures. The exhibition opens Saturday, December 13 and runs through February 15, 2026.

Anthony Iacono (b. 1987, Nyack, NY) earned his MFA from Virginia Commonwealth University in Sculpture + Extended Media, and a BFA from the School of Visual Arts, New York. He attended the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture in 2013, and has been an artist-in-residence at the Museum of Arts and Design, the Sharpe-Walentas Studio Program, LMCC Workspace, and ISCP. He has had solo exhibitions at PPOW Gallery (2015, 2018), The Approach (2019), Capsule Shanghai (2020), The Spite Haus (2022), and Marinaro (2018, 2021, 2023), where he is represented. In 2017, he was a recipient of the Toby Devan Lewis Fellowship Award. He lives and works in Philadelphia.
