Kenneth Batista, Professor of Studio Arts, recently had work exhibited in three online exhibitions.
"Pixelated Paintings: The Landscapes of Kenneth Batista" | Naturalist Gallery of Contemporary Art (Washington, DC)
"Kenneth Batista’s vibrant acrylic works present an intriguing pixelated style that transforms traditional landscape art into a contemporary visual dialogue.
Kenneth Batista is an artist renowned for his pixelated landscape paintings in acrylic, blending digital aesthetics with traditional techniques to explore global environments.
Through his distinct technique of using broad, squared brushstrokes, Batista abstracts and reimagines diverse landscapes from around the world, ranging from Komodo Island's lush palms to the serene sunrises of Borobudur and the expansive vistas of Kenya. Each painting invites the viewer to engage with the environment in a new and dynamic way, blurring the lines between digital interpretation and painterly tradition." —Gavin Coates, Naturalist Gallery of Contemporary Art
