Peter Schuyff
September 9 - December 17, 2022
Dutch born American painter Peter Schuyff (b.1958) showcases a startling group of 8 vibrant and colourful abstract paintings made by the artist throughout 2021 at his studio in Bari, Southern Italy. Taking the form of either a checkerboard grid or a succession of vertical, coloured stripes that have been disrupted by illusionistic light effects or shadows appearing to fall upon their surfaces from some unknown, exterior source, these powerful geometric paintings playfully operate in an ambiguous space that is simultaneously both representational and abstract. Functioning according to their own logic, they belong to a type of work that Schuyff has made consistently, ever since first coming to prominence in New York in the 1980s.
