Miami-based Argentine artist Victoria Gitman creates diminutive, jewel-like oil paintings that mine ideas of illusionism, the sensorium, and histories of high abstraction. Drawing from found and vintage objects like accessories and intricate textiles, she crafts painstaking, dizzyingly realistic images that interlink physical and visual senses. Her latest exhibition, Zippers, features works from a new series depicting fields of white fur interrupted by zippers in various states of partial opening. Their subtle variations in color and composition speak to Gitman’s continued interest in seriality and the material and perceptual properties of the medium.
