Guided by intuition, his work focuses on the intersection of personal memory, intimacy, and the human condition. In 2024, Mallozzi was one of fifteen artists in South Florida to receive the Cultural Consortium Grant, a prize presented by an alliance of the Broward, Martin, Miami-Dade, Monroe, and Palm Beach counties’ art councils; in the same year, his work was additionally acquired into the city of Miami’s public art collection. Born in New York, the artist received his BFA from the Rhode Island School of Design, and has presented work at galleries that include Hal Bromm Gallery, New York, NY; Bill Arning Exhibitions, Miami, FL; Hashimoto Contemporary, Los Angeles, CA; and Freight + Volume, New York, NY. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTitled after a song by the musician Julio Iglesias, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eQue no se rompa la noche\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cem\u003e \u003c\/em\u003erecalls the music that once formed a backdrop to the Mallozzi family’s domino and poker game nights. The artist traces the changing, personal significance of Spanish music from the 1980s and 1990s, which was first associated with childhood joy, then fraught with anxiety and anger, and finally deemed celebratory again as an adult. Featuring two male figures locked in a tender embrace, the work commemorates the gradual transformation experienced by Mallozzi’s mother—from visceral rejection of her son’s queerness, to eventual love and acceptance. The artist notes, “My work draws from personal memory: the feeling of being sexually free before my HIV diagnosis, the double-edged weight of intimacy that is simultaneously hot and dangerous, and the reverence and jealousy experienced as I watch others move through the world with a freedom that I miss.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e I also explore the family biases, religious beliefs, and cultural customs that complicated my coming out.” \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFor this limited edition series, the artist will use pastels and Flashe paint to add unique elements to eight prints.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cb id=\"docs-internal-guid-8b4b7e82-7fff-1ddb-3c91-08815043b3e7\"\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eJean-Paul Mallozzi\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eQue no se rompa la noche\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, 2026\u003cbr\u003e16 x 11 ½ inches\u003cbr\u003eArchival pigment print\u003cbr\u003eLimited edition of 8\u003cbr\u003e$850\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLimited edition of 10 with 6 AP + 2 PP\u003cbr\u003eSigned and numbered by the artist\u003cbr\u003e$400\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eOf ART FOR CHANGE’s initiative to support the Ali Forney Center, Mallozzi adds, “When my parents found out I was gay, they were angry and hurtful for years. Yet I know that I was luckier than many; I always had a roof over my head. The Ali Forney Center exists for the young LGBTQ+ people who were forced onto the streets with no support, no safety, and no resources. Supporting the center feels personal, because I can draw a direct line between my own story and those that they support.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e*International customers are responsible for applicable duties and taxes including new VAT fees.\u003cbr\u003e*Unframed prints ship within 1-3 weeks.\u003cbr\u003e*Framed prints ship within 3-6 weeks.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Jean-Paul Mallozzi","offers":[{"title":"Signed and numbered \/ Unframed","offer_id":53951835963605,"sku":null,"price":400.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Signed and Numbered \/ Framed","offer_id":53951835996373,"sku":null,"price":750.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Hand-Embellished \/ Unframed","offer_id":53973828632789,"sku":null,"price":850.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Hand-Embellished \/ Framed","offer_id":53973828665557,"sku":null,"price":1200.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2567\/6326\/files\/Jean-Paul_SN_Unframed.jpg?v=1780445718","url":"https:\/\/artforchange.com\/products\/jean-paul-mallozzi-que-no-se-rompa-la-noche-2026-hand-embellished-signed-and-numbered-limited-edition-print","provider":"ART FOR CHANGE","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
