Gonzalo Pita: PAISAJE

Opening reception for Gonzalo Pita's solo show of landscape paintings. Self-taught artist Gonzalo Pita was born in Buenos Aires in 1967. He moved to New York in 2007 and has worked for the past 17 years in set design alongside his own creative endeavors. He began to work with impasto in 2008, experimenting and honing his technique to arrive at the series of landscape paintings - Paisaje - presented as a solo show at Hawk + Hive. His aesthetic is rooted in minimalism and abstraction, with an emphasis on richly textured surfaces and emotive use of color.
