SEASON IS PROUD TO ANNOUNCE THE OPENING OF PETER SCHERRER’S SOLO SHOW EVERYTHING RIGHT AND ANYWHERE NOW. THIS SIX WEEK LONG SHOW WILL OPEN IN PLATFORM GALLERY’S SPACE IN THE TASHIRO KAPLAN BUILDING, IN SEATTLE’S PIONEER SQUARE NEIGHBORHOOD ON MAY 10, WITH A FIRST THURSDAY RECEPTION FOR THE ARTIST ON JUNE 6, 2013. IN A SPIRIT OF CAMARADERIE AND MUTUAL SUPPORT, PLATFORM HAS GENEROUSLY LOANED THE USE OF THEIR SPACE FOR THIS SHOW AND WE ARE EXCITED TO ONCE AGAIN BE PRIVILEGED WITH ANOTHER GALLERY SHARE. BUILDING UPON THE COOPERATION FROM OUR RECENT SHARE AT PROLE DRIFT, SEASON AND PLATFORM ARE EAGER TO TRY NEW OPTIONS WITHIN THE GALLERY FORMAT.
Peter Scherrer’s latest work builds upon the dense and damp territories of his 2011 show and expands the frenetic energy found in his unyielding landscapes. Working in both watercolor on paper and oil on canvas, this collection of new paintings creates views into fantastic worlds where night owls melt into trees while snakes hide in the branches. For Mr. Scherrer, even his humble backyard holds amazing energy that is overwhelming and dreadful. Dense lines in ink or oil set a framework for the atmosphere to become a vibrating and heavy cloak over nature. Peter Scherrer received his BFA from California College of the Arts in San Francisco and he has shown in numerous galleries in California and Washington. Mr. Scherrer was born in Mount Vernon, Washington and lives in Bellingham, Washington. SEASON and Platform are honored to present this new work.
