PITR / Pizza In The Rain

One of the most prolific and dedicated artists of the street and the gallery, PITR is known for large-scale work placed in the public way and for detailed, original paintings of places all over.

In February 2023, we published “Chasing Landscapes: A Practical Study in the Removal of Arte Agora from the Public Way“. Here’s how we describe that publication:

Documentation and criticism of exhibition called Pizza In The Rain ‘Landscapes’, commemorating “the conclusion of a 13-month-long collaborative public art project celebrating the architecture of the Windy City” presented at Vertical Gallery, an art gallery in Chicago focused on urban, contemporary & street art/This is my kinetic contemporary art criticism. For each item I’ve removed, I note location, method of removal, and other notes that indicate the joy of documenting, collecting, indexing, and archiving some of the finest art being published today. I show the piece in situ, and in conservation.
