Pink and Yellow

PINK AND YELLOW

Art Projects Gallery is delighted to present “Pink and Yellow”, a solo exhibition by Amsterdam-based artist Peter Orsag, a.k.a. Digestor. This will be his debut solo exhibition internationally. 

Known for his portrayal of pop icons, in particular with characters from “The Simpsons” being his favourite muses, Peter has gained a strong following on Instagram. The exhibition title, “Pink and Yellow”, distills the essence of Peter’s iconic portraits, which the artist re-contextualises to evoke specific emotions. Using a purist approach to his work, in which every line, colours and elements in his thoughtfully composed pieces all add to the final message and emotion the artist intends to portray, Peter’s works exude a sense of profound simplicity that viewers can immediately relate to.

A self-taught artist, Peter’s works feature in many private art collections worldwide. The exhibition will run from 02 April – 21 May 2022 at Art Projects Gallery Hong Kong.

ARTIST STATEMENT

“I like to focus on expressing emotions – each of my paintings starts off with an idea of a specific feeling that I want to portray, quite often a reflection of my own current mood. Even though I always use familiar TV characters, they are only used as a medium and I want the viewer to be captured by the dominant emotion even if they are not familiar with the backstory.”
