8 Must-See Solo Gallery Shows Around the U.S. in November

An Italian artist who is living and working in Los Angeles, Alessandro Pessoli’s work is coveted worldwide for the lively mix of photorealism and expressionism in his satirical paintings and drawings and clever combination of ceramics, bronzes and found materials in his playful sculptures. Employing a variety of media, including spray paints, oils, pastels, pencils and collage on his canvases and experimenting with ceramic techniques in his sculptures, Pessoli creates comical scenarios that comment on the human condition.

While there is no doubt about Pessoli’s deep-rooted belief in the elastic possibilities of painting, here the choice of medium seemed a deliberate trip down memory lane..

Alessandro Pessoli | Studio Guenzani, Milan, Italy November 2000

A preview of Alessandro Pessoli's intense, lyrical world, a single phrase - pesci freddi meravigliosi nuotano nella mia testa (marvellous cold fishes swim into my head) - was printed in white on the dark blue invitation. The show itself was overwhelming: around 700 drawings, the majority of which were stuck to the walls like fancy wallpaper or placed on a small table, so that anyone could look through them.
