Jon Pestoni's First Solo Exhibition at Lisa Cooley Fine Art Features Nine New Oil Paintings

Jon Pestoni unveiled his first solo exhibition at Lisa Cooley Fine Art, showcasing nine new oil paintings from January 16 to February 20, 2011. Located at 34 Orchard Street in New York City, the exhibition highlighted pieces that blended geometric shapes with organic forms, characterized by rich textures. Pestoni utilized dry, vibrant colors in expansive strokes across the canvases. Notably, Black Out (2010) emerged with its haunting darkness and captivating, witch-like color scheme. This dynamic work diverges from the exhibition's more subtle themes, featuring delicate white forms that sway within a dark Gothic backdrop. Layers of magenta and translucent purple enhance the surface, while deep grays obscure hints of blue and green, creating a complex, luminous texture.
