Little Cutoff

Peter di Gesu (b. Los Angeles) is a Nova Scotia–based painter whose work explores the interplay of form, colour, light, and space. Educated at the San Francisco Art Institute (BFA, MFA), his practice bridges influences from Monet and Seurat to the debates of abstract expressionism and hard-edge painting. Using photographs and sketches as points of departure, he creates lyrical abstractions that transcend place, evoking the expansiveness of earth and sky. His work is held in private and corporate collections.
