Nicodim Gallery in New York presents a solo exhibition of Czech artist Daniel Pitín titled "The Time Machine".
Pitín’s fourth exhibition with the Nicodim Gallery and his first in New York, moves further away from the interior spaces. Instead, he focuses on the relationship between light and volume in an open, natural environment. The artist evokes two different times: a dystopic future full of drones and odd flying surveillance objects and the fragmented memories of the past. In the painting Time Machine (2022), Pitín places an assemblage of geometrical bodies in a chaotic and organic painterly space composed of large brushstrokes, ink stains, and scraps of old yellowed newspaper sealed in acrylic resin.
