Through his gestural and textured brushwork, Tommaso Ottieri beautifully captures luminous urban landscapes as well as the interiors of old European theaters and churches. Epiphany, CK Contemporary’s first solo exhibition of Ottieri’s paintings, will highlight what the artist has considered his main objective since he began painting as a young boy - to lift the veil and reveal a view of the world around us, infused with the majestic beauty we so easily ignore. To Ottieri, our vision is obscured by our expectations, and his paintings allow us to rediscover the magic of our surroundings through his exploration of the color, light and movement found in the intense life of a city as it falls into the dark.
