The objects of sculptor Peter Iannarelli are seemingly commonplace in nature, yet the artist cleverly liberates the forms through the tinkering of their materiality. By utilizing both logic and abstraction, Iannarelli reduces the forms to a common denominator linking and balancing concept with form. The work, which is seemingly accessible to a wide audience, offers depth beyond its initial appearance. Using the familiar materials, the artist draws the viewer into the work and then flips the meaning in a way that re-contextualizes both the physicality and the meaning of the object. Also, the work is often summed up by a clever title which neatly puts together any conceptual loose-ends.
Peter Iannarelli received his BFA from Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, NY. He has attended the DIA Center as a visiting artist and has a grant recipient of the Vermont Studio Center. The artist has a forth coming exhibition at Van Brunt Gallery in Beacon, NY and recently exhibited at the Dorsky Museum in New Paltz, NY and the Albany Center Gallery in Albany, NY.
