PAUL PITSKER: It's All Arranged
GBGLA is pleased to present the gallery’s third solo exhibition of watercolor paintings by Paul Pitsker. The exhibition, It’s All Arranged, features the artist’s recent work and continues through January 2nd.
Paul Pitsker’s watercolor paintings combine the tradition of still life with narrative elements exploring themes of confinement, thwarted yearning and looming disaster, subjects that are now too familiar to all of us whose lives have been upended by the coronavirus pandemic.

His goal is to evoke an atmosphere of disquiet and a sense that the answers to life's most urgent questions might be hidden in plain sight and yet remain unreadable. READ MORE
