Featuring stunning new works at Peters Projects in Santa Fe, New Mexico, the show offers a range of interesting subjects, including hyper-realistic portraiture, still life, and urban landscape. Via the gallery, “There is a tension at play in his work as he explores the dichotomy between realism and abstraction, beauty and grit, tradition and experiment, planned and improvised. He exhibits extraordinary attention to detail, but then by leaving an unfinished edge or a sweeping gestural brushstroke, he reminds us that these are, after all, still paintings.”
