According to the organizers:
"This new body of work was created under the tutelage of HVCCA's Artist-in-Residence program where the artist lived and worked in Peekskill for three months. As a result, the paintings feature Pitin's trademark fictional settings evocative of theatrical stage sets, but with a resonance of the locale; in works like Psycho House, Victorian architecture looms forlornly amidst a bed of brushstroke and NY Times clippings. Elsewhere, in small paintings on canvas, Pitin crafts architectural structures of gesture, facial expression, and existential aura. Continued to be inspired by Communist-era television and film, most evident perhaps in Lost House, Pitin fuses the fictional with the personal, creating paintings that allow for the interplay of memory to take stage."
