Pet Silvia

Art at Large, New York

Can't Pet This. Art @ Large is proud to present an exhibition of Photographic works by Pet Silvia. The performance artist who performs silently from within his studio using gender issues as the basis of much of his art. The longing to be the 'pretty girl' in the magazines is partly to blame for this inspiration, but also to be the artist's model in a great work of Fine Art.

Can't Pet This

Art @ Large is proud to present an exhibition of Photographic works by Pet Silvia.

The performance artist who performs silently from within his studio using gender issues as the basis of much of his art. The longing to be the 'pretty girl' in the magazines is partly to blame for this inspiration, but also to be the artist's model in a great work of Fine Art.

The works all begin with photography, and then are explored through a myriad of 'machine' processes. From xerographic and laser prints transfered to canvas with acrylics & oils, to digital Giclée on canvas and type 'C' prints. Of particular note is a unique sculptural series of 3D dioramas, built entirely from scratch with Pet as the inhabitant of several rooms, not unlike the settings in a dollhouse.

Questions are raised regarding perceptions as to what is definable as a 'body-beautiful', and the stereotypes that hardly any woman in real life can ever hope to attain. Silvia shows us that we're all really beautiful, if we can just not take ourselves so seriously. That, with sexuality and the desire confessed, leads us to think about our own perceptions of self and what turns us on.

Opening reception for the artist Thursday, February 5, 2004, 6 - 9:00pm

Gallery Hours: Tues - Sat, 11AM - 6PM
