From the Mountain by Drew Peterson
Opening reception Friday March 19th 7p-11p
XYandZ is pleased to present From the Mountain, an exhibition of new works by Drew Peterson inspired by his artist residency at The Anderson Ranch in Snow Mass Colorado. Join us to celebrate the opening of From the Mountain on Friday March 19th, 2010 at XYandZ.
The works included in From the Mountain are a continuation of Peterson's exploration into abstraction, through a process of layering and fragmenting pre-existing images. Peterson carries this out through the disciplines of printmaking, painting and mixed media installation. Peterson's work utilizes a variety of reoccurring symbols and imagery, often arranged in colliding, overlapping, or quaking formations.
From the Mountain consists of prints, paintings and installation. XYandZ's space will accommodate a larger installation based painting as well as a large scale canvas. The paintings are acrylic on canvas and the installation incorporates acrylic and goauche on paper as well as being applied directly to the wall. Peterson's prints are a combination of intaglio, screen printing and digital printing methods.
The opening reception for Drew Peterson's From the Mountain will be held at XYandZ on Friday March 19th, 2010 from 7p-11p. From the Mountain will be on display at XYandZ through April 24th, 2010.
