几年来,艺术家凯文·彼得森创作的画作被同样的虚构世界占据了。他想象的环境是由儿童和动物占据的——当他们在枯竭的城市环境中时团结在一起。作品将主人公的天真与破碎的世界进行了对比,讲述了我们每个人在生活中经历的不同旅程。最近,彼得森开始只画这些场景中的动物,而不是把它们和孩子们配在一起。
For several years artist Kevin Peterson (previously) has created paintings that occupy the same fictionalized world. His imagined environments are occupied by children and animals— individuals band together as they navigate depleted urban environments. The works pair the innocence of its subjects against a broken and crumbling world, addressing the various journeys we each take through life.Recently, Peterson has begun to paint just the animals in these scenes, rather than pairing them exclusively with children. “In my head, it’s the same world,the Houston-based painter tells Colossal, “the animals and kids just haven’t met up yet. Maybe they’re searching for each other.His solo exhibition Wild opens at Thinkspace Projects in Culver City, California on March 2, 2019 and continues through March 23, 2019. You can see more of his paintings on his website and Instagram. (via booooooom)
