Artist: Osvaldo Mariscotti

Upsilon Gallery launches its 2025 Fall Season with dual solo exhibitions by internationally acclaimed American artist Osvaldo Mariscotti, taking place simultaneously at the gallery’s flagship locations in New York and London. These exhibitions mark a pivotal moment in the artist’s four-decade career, headlined by his powerful new body of work: The Valley (2024–2025).

A sweeping meditation on memory, nature, and abstraction,The Valley reconnects Mariscotti’s earliest landscapes with his signature geometric vocabulary. In both cities, four paintings from The Valley series will be shown alongside eight Untitled works, offering collectors and audiences a curated view into the artist’s evolving visual language. Each canvas pulses with kinetic tension, vertical forms clash against metallic stripes and jagged contours, revealing a haunting fusion of nostalgia and experimentation.

“I thought I could paint something like a revival, like the way I see the trees now,” Mariscotti shares, referencing his childhood in Bariloche, Argentina. “It’s very nostalgic.”

Known for his unique ability to synthesize Suprematist ideals with personal mythos, Mariscotti champions the straight line and the square, a choice that reflects the emphasis he places on the shapes produced by man rather than those existing in nature. He constructs a world where color, memory, and movement intertwine. The Valley draws inspiration from both nature’s shifting rhythms and art historical giants like Kandinsky, yet remains distinctly his own, an elegy of prismatic surfaces and fractured time.

This moment comes at the height of Mariscotti’s global rise. In 2025 alone, the artist shattered his auction records twice, first in May, when Ensemble sold for $108,500, followed by Curves fetching $151,200 at Christie’s in July. His market is commanding attention not just in the U.S. and Europe, but increasingly across Asia, where institutional and private collectors are engaging with the artist’s work at an unprecedented pace.

“Having represented Osvaldo for 12 years, it’s gratifying to see the world respond to the clarity, rigor, and emotional depth of his work,” said Marcelo Zimmler, Founder and CEO of Upsilon Gallery. “This season is a celebration, not just of his newest series, but of the enduring relevance of his voice in contemporary abstraction.”

With The Valley, Osvaldo Mariscotti invites us to look again at his journey into the realm of abstraction, where bold, metallic colors and jagged lines culminate in a powerful exploration of nature’s essence. Beyond the landscape is how we perceive it, remember it, and shape it through such form. This exhibition signals a new chapter in a career defined by transformation, and offers viewers the rare opportunity to witness a master at his most intimate and expansive.
