Kevin Peterson | #C10 | Painter

My work is about the human condition and the events and trials that make us who we are. I cannot be pinned down to any medium. I am energized by the possibilities of all mediums and at the same time enjoy creating works that stand alone as pure paintings. My rope series are works that combine paintings with sculptural qualities. Support versus restraint, bondage versus freedom, and tension versus slack are all themes that I often visit. I enjoy modifying the conventional picture plane and using multiple frames to infuse ideas such as worlds within worlds, the idea of rigid boundaries, the hopeful breakdown of such restrictions, as well as questions about the forces that orchestrate our behavior.
