"The L#ST B#YS" is the latest chapter in Paul Endres Jr.’s ongoing story of "The American Burden", a fictitious modern catastrophe of his own creation. This monumental – and entertaining – series depicts a single 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.

With the heroes and villains of Endres’ 2014 exhibition "Theater of War" now absent from post-disaster Boston, a new chapter of the saga is set to unfold. In the midst of a power vacuum, the celebutante Octavian the Pale has stumbled into the stewardship of New Boston. A veritable Peter Pan, Octavian promises everlasting youth to the renegade bands of “Lost Boys” who follow him. All is well until a faithful disciple sprouts a single gray hair, calling years of lies into question.

Equal parts comedy and tragedy, "The L#ST B#YS" offers a fascinating examination of mythmaking, mortality, polarities, and the fictional nature of history. Welcome to Burden America, Year 15 P.B.
