For the Pitʼs inaugural exhibition in our new Palm Springs gallery we are pleased to present “Oasis” a group exhibition featuring ten painters, all focusing on themes of the idealized environment and the many physical or personal ways they are manifested ranging from landscapes, and exotic environments to domestic and intimate moments at home and with loved ones.

Over the past year of social distancing and lockdown, we found ourselves (along with many other Angelenos) planning retreats to the desert for access to nature, open spaces, and the ever promising aspect of being anywhere other than our house in Los Angeles. We are no strangers to spending hours on Real Estate apps daydreaming of an escape from the urban pandemic experience, which eventually led us to find this location in Palm Springs and decide to open a secondary gallery here. For the inaugural exhibition it feels fitting to bring to the desert, artists whoʼs practices celebrate their own idealized environment, and the different possibilities that locations hold for each individual in a way referencing the once profound possibility of creating an oasis-like community of cities in the low desert like Palm Springs.
