When Francisco Díaz Scotto went by the moniker PASTEL and was painting massive murals, he did it with a sensitvity of a still-life painter. And yet there was something quite physical to the work, a mining of memory and the strength of a place, a deep understanding of the places we leave behind. His paintings do the same. They are still-lifes that move. Scotto is about to open Where Dreams Touch Ground, the Argentinian painters new solo show at Hashimoto Contemporary in LA. And he’s working with memory and dreams once again.
