Rooted in cycles of the natural world and Wisconsin’s seasons, Peter Barrickman's latest painting series meditates on transformation.
A multidisciplinary artist, Barrickman makes work in tandem with an archiving practice. From found images, recorded experiences, observational drawings, and collected objects, subjects are formed. His paintings merge observed and imagined realities through a process that welcomes revision and accident, drawing on Expressionist and Post-Impressionist influences. In creating a dynamic, responsive connection between the artist’s studio and Carlsten Gallery, Peter will produce a new video work to be added to the space each week of the exhibition.
Peter Barrickman lives and works in Milwaukee. His work has been shown at galleries and museums internationally including The Whitney Museum of American Art, The Museum of Contemporary Art in Detroit, La Panaderia in Mexico City, Karma International in Zurich, Tanzschuleprojects in Munich, The Tate Modern in London, Fluc in Vienna and Cité des Arts International in Paris. His work has been written about in Art Forum, Art Papers, Art in America online, Artnews and The New York Times online.
Barrickman is an associate professor in Fine Art + New Studio Practice at the Milwaukee Institute of Art and Design. He is represented by The Green Gallery and Nathalie Karg Gallery.
