"Camellia," is a floral found image collage work by American artist Whitney Pintello. This piece features found images of flowers with abstract gestures created with ink and acrylic layered on top. This work is part our community program, Gallery Takeover; Whitney Pintello's 'Essential: Art in Quarantine. "

"When 2020 brought Covid and the shutdown of normal life, it also brought an incredible time of freedom to paint and explore.  This time to revisit abstract and collage work and to study online with UK artist Louise Fletcher, lit a fire for me. The solitude, frustration, despair, and islands of peace and playtime in quarantine, provided a rich wellspring to draw on"

Gallery 1202 present its 2020 Artist Takeover by Whitney Pintello, "Essential: Art in Quarantine."  Pintello, a local artist native to Gilroy, will be exhibiting works produced solely during the shelter-in-place order during the COVID-19 pandemic.  The work shown are largely from two bodies of art, vintage glass paintings, and abstract paintings.  During the quarantine, Pintello started experimenting with abstraction and was prolific in her output.  The show will feature several different series of abstract works that can be collected as a set, or individually.  Additionally, she will have several works on vintage and antique windows, a more familiar medium but she has challenged herself to a more complicated subject matter, Italian Sculpture.
