Peter Vanderwarker:
Vanderwarker’s Cities
Online Exhibition: June 5 - July 10, 2020
Peter Vanderwarker’s exhibition focuses on the intersection of both the built and natural worlds. He creates compositions with illusions of scale and form and finds shape and line in nature that mimic the architecture he’s known for capturing. For Vanderwarker, these subjects are practically interchangeable . . .
“When I am really looking, I see things and they remind me of other things. The NY Subway becomes a Piranesi carceri. A cliff in Utah becomes the NY skyline. Commonwealth Avenue becomes a river of color, like an Andy Goldsworthy.” - Peter Vanderwarker
