Gary Petersen

For several years now, Gary Petersen has been working with an idiosyncratic hard edge geometric vocabulary that embraces an over-the-top exuberance of color and shape. During his residency, he plans to expand upon his vocabulary of forms. He will be working on paper, using colored pencils, ink pens, and graphite pencils. While at Bogliasco, Petersen wishes to explore the art and architecture of Genoa, particularly the Byzantine and Islamic influence, as a possible source material for his work.
