Fish Out of Water
Chris Pizarro is changing. The koi paintings that started his career becomes the proverbial big fish in the pond that wants to seek out the ocean. Pizarro shapeshifts and charts a different course for himself with this solo exhibition, a unique look into his changing perspectives, evolving style, and unencumbered enthusiasm and love for the craft.
Mapping his artistic topography is a tour consisting of epic origin stories: a big comic book fan imitating his larger-than-life heroes in his drawings; of winding detours: live-sketching and painting murals; even the occasional dead-ends: the challenges of pursuing a craft that may not be so practical nor lucrative. Despite all that, Pizarro thrives in the uncertain and embraces it to guide him onwards.
