Sunday, New York
Artist's works oscillate freely between painting, drawing, collage, and sculpture. His works are combined to create a poetic mise-en-scene.
I Will Not Be Judy Garland
Vermont-based artist Peter Gallo's works oscillate freely between painting,
drawing, collage, and sculpture. Chock-full of literary, art historical,
cultural, political and musical references (and detours) Gallo's works, when
seen together, combine to create a poetic, albeit labyrinthine,
mise-en-scene.
Peter Gallo lives and works in Hyde Park, Vermont. Peter is a doctoral
candidate in art history at Concordia University in Montreal, where he is
also a part-time member of the faculty. He also works as a psychiatric
social worker in a rural health care agency in northern Vermont, and is a
member of the Grass Roots Art and Community Efforts in Hardwick.
He recently curated a retrospective of long-time friend and visionary artist Gayleen
Aiken for SUNDAY. He has authored reviews and articles have appeared in Art
in America and Art New England. His own work has been reviewed in the New
York Times, Frieze, Artforum, and Art in America.
