Structural Narratives by Gustavo Acosta. Tour led by Curator Irina Leyva Perez in altogether with the artist. rsvp to irina@panamericanart.com. Gustavo Acosta is part of a group of artists influenced by American Realism, especially by Edward Hopper (1882-1967). Similarly to this painter, he observes and portrays cities’ forgotten corners, mostly places that could pass as inconsequential. He is a quiet observer who registers his impressions, in daylight and innocturnes. Especially intriguing are the second, where the isolation of the spaces invites all kind of conjectures about what exactly is happening. Like Hopper, Acosta gravitates towards these types of scenarios mastering the sensation of suspense behind every image.
