"GAZE AND GESTURE" Alfredo Gisholt

Catapult Gallery in collaboration with Deborah Colton Gallery presents Gaze and Gesture, a solo exhibition of works on paper by Alfredo Gisholt, created during time spent on the coast of Maine. Using only black, white, and gray, Gisholt captures the shifting light, tides, and atmosphere of the coastal landscape through bold, expressive mark-making.

Though rooted in observation, these drawings move between representation and abstraction. Gisholt draws inspiration from artists like Goya, Braque, and Picasso—channeling their expressive power, structural experimentation, and emotional depth.

The works invite close looking. Planes shift, space folds, and meaning builds gradually through layers of gesture. More than scenes, these are meditations on seeing—on how memory, feeling, and form emerge in the act of perception.
