Giandomenico Tonatiuh Pellizzi, (Tlayacapan, Mexico, 1978) Better known as GT Pellizzi, his architectural background established straight lines in the construction of buildings in his work, his references from artistic explorations of social constructs compare projections and predictions of the future made within the financial system to those in myths, astrology and the ancient Greek I Ching, all complex systems built to make sense of reality. Monochromatic canvases and lines create the concepts at play behind the sometimes minimal façade of the pieces on display. Themes of gentrification and city transformation come to mind. Pellizzi attended St. Johns College, Santa Fe, New Mexico, studying literature and philosophy before attending Channin School of Architecture at Cooper Union, New York. Pellizzi co-founded and participated in art collectives such as The Bruce High Quality Foundation, with whom he exhibited at the Whitney Museum of Art and MoMA PS1 in New York, Centre Pompidou in Paris and PAC Murcia, among others. He currently lives and works between New York City and Mexico City.
