Sandler Hudson Gallery announces an exhibition of recent work by Atlanta artist Jo Peterson. This exhibition features abstracted nature-based works entitled, light dark near far. Peterson says,” The natural world is a place where I can both achieve relief and find inspiration. It is filled with irony in its balance of life and death that parallels our own lives. The contradictions of dark and light, weak and strong, small and large, near and far are all found in nature. But in both places, equilibrium exists. This body of work is based upon the juxtapositions of these opposing realities.”
Peterson captures elements of nature from her travels. She then isolates areas of interest to create dream-like imagery using acrylic and vine charcoal on board.
Peterson received a MFA from the University of Florida in Drawing and a MVA from Georgia State University in Printmaking. Peterson has exhibited extensively throughout the southeastern region. Her work is held in numerous private and public collections. Some of those include, IBM Corporation, Kimberly-Clark Corporation and in Bank South’s permanent collection in Atlanta. She currently teaches at the Savannah College of Art and Design in Atlanta, Ga.
Through April 3.
