"Working in brushy, stippled oils with a muted palette of greens and yellows, magentas and soft blues, he builds volumetric, cubist-inspired forms that shift restlessly between categories. Interiors become theatrical stages where figures, furniture, and foliage fold into one another. A favored motif is the "pancake plant," its near-circular leaves punctuating compositions with biomorphic rhythm."
"Pablo's personification is plump, lush and lovely, in And Then She Did What She Did the sofa odalisques with bodily bumps, belly buttons and curves and a flurry of feet underneath. In Memory Lanes a canvas on an easel oscillates between landscape of pink rolling hills and a perky pink bottom. The sumptuous roundness of the forms throughout are balanced with moments of perspective; crisp corners of canvases, window frames, foregrounds and backgrounds."
The exhibition features five new paintings and six works on paper inspired by the Peggy Guggenheim collection and Art of This Century. Paintings employ brushy, stippled oils and a muted palette of greens, yellows, magentas, and soft blues to build volumetric, cubist-derived forms. Interiors function as theatrical stages where figures, furniture, and foliage fold into one another and categories shift. A recurring "pancake plant" motif provides near-circular, biomorphic rhythm across compositions. Several canvases include paintings within paintings, domestic gazes, and richly rounded forms balanced by clear perspective cues such as window frames and crisp corners.
