Gilbert Gorski is an architect and landscape painter who depicts the forests of his home in rural Western Pennsylvania. “Not unlike the human mind, woods are self-contained interiors, while at the same time, infinite in scale and complexity,” he says. For his labor-intensive style—in which form is structured through thousands of individual dots of pure color—Gorski draws inspiration from pointillism, a technique employed by late nineteenth-century French artists like Georges Seurat, and the pixelation of digital images. Despite his interest in digital media, he insists that his work is best viewed in person, as his brushwork emphasizes the tactile qualities of applied paint.
