Presently on perspective at Roq la Rue Gallery in Seattle, Washington is artist Peter Ferguson’s solo exhibition, “Avenge Me, Lunatic Corpse!”
Peter Ferguson’s vividly imaginative will work study like a lucid desire of an alternate record, recalling the aesthetics of Dutch Renaissance painting, previous Nationwide Geographic photography, and 18th century British Naval background and 19th Century Normal Heritage illustrations. Meticulously painted, Ferguson’s darkly humorous narratives evoke an achronological magical realism, featuring composite cities and landscapes comprised of every thing from from 16th Century European cities to early 20th century Americana (or Canadiana as the situation may well be). Combining grandiose narratives of the excellent ages of exploration with a distinctly paranormal bent, Ferguson’s do the job subtly hovers the line involving fantasy, surrealism, and realism devoid of at any time falling into both of them entirely. Norman Rockwell fulfills H.P. Lovecraft. Luminously painted and sophisticated in their composition, his paintings are created with a developed in patina to evoke the experience of very long lost magical is effective identified in the dusty corner of some outdated gentleman’s explorer club library.
