Peter Charlap "Lanscape as Object"
M55 Art
This event has ended.
Imaginative painted tin tunnels depicting a variety of landscapes are the central theme of this show. Also a series of landscape paintings explore the late afternoon winter light with Charlap’s signature vocabulary of light and color.
Peter Charlap was inspired by vintage (circa 1930-50) lithographed tin tunnels produced in Europe and the US for model train sets. Often these tunnels depicted landscapes that also refer to the tunnel itself as a form. Peter Charlap’s painted tunnels are intriguing and clever as both the painted surface and the objects merge whimsically to the delight of the viewer.
