Currently Available from Pita Ohiwerei

As a figurative and abstract painter, Pita resists the flatness of the canvas. His signature “Scratchee” style involves scratching the entire canvas with meticulous cross hatch marks to add grainy texture and create a sense of depth. He has evolved this technique to “Scrapee” in which he scrapes the canvas in wider sections in a similar vertical and horizontal pattern. The effect is heightened when the image appears slightly distorted as though blurred by a rainstorm. Pita’s landscape, figurative, and portrait paintings tend to crossover to the abstract as he pushes the limits of texture and paint technique.
