Peter Di Gesu // Aggregates
Jun 6 - Jul 5, 2025

“Various elements and circumstances came about in the formation of these paintings. Mainly, they are a result of the relationship of the inner and outer secret world that I inhabit. The paintings may start with a photo from a road trip and then change to more of an abstraction of line, colour, form, and space. The paintings usually have impressions of several locations within them. The landscapes that I encounter sometimes stir a spacious deep feeling, and I am inspired to put that on canvas, and these paintings are a result of that.

To quote the Mexican author Roberto Bolano, ‘the visual arts are ultimately incomprehensible, or they are so comprehensible that no one, first and foremost myself, can accept the most obvious reading of them.’”
