Meet Gonzalo Pizarro: The Innovative Mastermind Using OSB Board To Make Art

Meet Gonzalo Pizzaro: The Innovative Mastermind Using OSB Board To Make Art

 

When you walk into an art gallery or museum, your mind subconsciously catalogs everything that you view. Unique pieces that fit your personal taste can heighten your senses, while genres of artwork you’ve seen many times before may have the opposite effect. But when you come upon a piece that’s created in ways you’ve never witnessed before, a new level of inspiration forms and you can’t help but marvel and ask yourself... how?


That’s precisely the internal monologue one can have when seeing the innovative work of Gonzalo Pizzarro for the first time. Over the past few months the artist has become widely recognized, after the posting of viral video showing how Pizarro creates portraits using OSB Board. Art critics and enthusiast became astonished at the new approach using a familiar item, that’s often overlooked. Oriented strand board (OSB) is a type of engineered wood, formed by adding adhesives and then compressing layers of wood strands in specific orientations.

While spending time with his father, an architect, Gonzalo discovered OSB boards on various construction sites and began taking them home in attempts to draw on them.  After experimenting, he was able to extract figures from the wood, finding inspiration in the chaotic nature of each piece. This illustrates a reflection of life, as we all try to navigate and find beauty within the chaos of our own daily lives.

Artist Replete met up with Gonzalo to learn more about his story and capture the artwork up close and personal:
