An exhibition of paintings and video by Milwaukee artist Peter Barrickman. Rooted in cycles of the natural world and Wisconsin’s seasons, Peter’s new series of paintings meditates on transformation.
A multidisciplinary artist, Peter makes work in tandem with an archiving practice. From found images, recorded experiences, observational drawings, and collected objects, subjects are formed. His paintings merge observed and imagined realities through a process that welcomes revision and accident, drawing on Expressionist and Post-Impressionist influences. His most recent work unfolds like a living system that reflects human complexity and our own movement through changing environments.
Peter Barrickman’s work has been shown at numerous galleries and museums internationally including The Whitney Museum of American Art, Hyde Park Art Center in Chicago, The Museum of Contemporary Art in Detroit, La Panaderia in Mexico City, Karma International in Zurich, Tanzschuleprojects in Munich, The Tate Modern in London, Fluc in Vienna and Cité des Arts International in Paris. His work has been written about in Art Forum, Art Papers, Art in America online, theNewRepublic.com, Artnews.com and The New York Times online.
Barrickman is an associate professor in Fine Art + New Studio Practice at the Milwaukee Institute of Art and Design. He is represented by The Green Gallery and Nathalie Karg Gallery.
