Daniel Pitin
Czech painter Daniel Pitín engages in illustrative painting, with landscaped
and figural compositions reminiscent of colorful dreams. Film plays a key role
in his work, and frequently provides the artist with a point of departure and
a source of inspiration.
Living and working in Peekskill under the tutelage of
the Hudson Valley Center for Contemporary Art’s Artist-in-Residence program,
this Czech Painter has also exhibited at Nicodim Gallery in Los Angeles as well
as Hunt Kastner Gallery in Prague. In 2002, he graduated with an advanced degree
from the Academy of Fine Arts in Prague, where he lives and works. He has been
the subject of several large-press articles, including Flash Art’s “Top
100 Emerging Artists.” |
