Osvaldo Mariscotti

Krazy Lane

Upsilon Gallery is pleased to announce a solo exhibition of seminal works by Osvaldo Mariscotti titled Krazy Lane, on view from November 2 to December 30, 2023. The show features new paintings and works on paper by the artist.

Interviewed in connection with his upcoming showing at Upsilon in NYC, he described his paintings as creating a "'space dome,' the kind of feeling that one feels when one sees all four horizons. Then you know that you're there... [that] you are involved as an actual physical thing in space." This is perhaps the most important point. The kinds of landscape experience that interest Mariscotti result in the individual's awareness of being corporeally present in a particular space, so that the "place" is as much a product of oneself as of the condition one confronts. "It’s something about you’re there alone," Mariscotti explains. And even more revealing: "You're not looking at anything [there’s not much to see]. But you yourself become very visible."

The works in Krazy Lane evince the themes consistent through Mariscotti’s art: color, line, emotion, and time. Like a composer, Mariscotti develops these themes through an array of variations of a wide dramatic range: sometimes solemn, occasionally serene, oftentimes playful, always generously expressive.

Mariscotti has exhibited with prominent galleries internationally, and his work is included in major collections around the world including the Galleria Nazionale d’Arte Moderna, Rome; the Department of State, Washington, DC; the UBS Art Collection; the Washington County Museum of Fine Arts, Hagerstown, MD; the Asheville Art Museum; the Tampa Museum of Art; and the John & Mable Ringling Museum of Art, Sarasota, FL, among many others.
