PEVETO presents Jason Villegas: The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly, a collection of drawings chronicling the artist's weird, awkward, humorous and tragic sex life as a gay and chubby young man. Drawn from memory, Villegas takes a cathartic look at his own sexual history through caricaturized portraits of each of his 63 sexual encounters.

Unlike idealized mainstream experiences of high school sweethearts and prom nights, Villegas shows a lonely alien world of dark corner hook-ups with the high school janitor and back room adult bookstore encounters with married men. The drawings are somewhat light-hearted as caricatures but these whimsical images are snapped to reality by the honesty of their titles, describing a partner's attributes or habits. From the beginning of the chronicle, one begins to understand the confused journey of a young man who had yet to discover control and comfort in a gay realm.

On view from Oct. 10 through Nov. 2.
