Autor John Leroux
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 17 noi 2020
A CBC New Brunswick Book List Selection

"I start with an original object, break it, and transform parts of the piece into other materials. These pieces gather meaning and explanation as I work with them."
Peter Powning is simultaneously referred to as a sculptor and a ceramist, but his art does not fit easy categorization, incorporating and combining elements from one medium into another. His work challenges the viewer to reconsider the object, its form, and its function. This inventiveness has resulted in numerous exhibitions, awards, and commissions for public art sculptures throughout Canada.
Featuring 175 full-colour images of Powning’s work along with essays by curators and critics, Peter Powning celebrates the career of one of Canada’s finest visual artists and accompanies a major retrospective exhibition organized by the Beaverbrook Art Gallery.
« Je commence par un objet original, je le brise et j’en transforme certains éléments en quelque chose d’autre. Ce que j’ai fabriqué ou encore les artéfacts que j’ai trouvés subissent un processus de fragmentation et de transformation. »
– Peter Powning
Peter Powning est à la fois désigné comme un sculpteur et un céramiste, mais son art ne correspond pas à la catégorisation facile; il se définie plutôt par l’intégration et la combinaison d’éléments d’un milieu à l’autre. Son travail met le spectateur au défi de reconsidérer l’objet, sa forme et sa fonction. Cette inventivité a donné lieu à de nombreuses expositions, prix et commandes de sculptures d’art public partout au Canada.
Avec 175 images en couleur de l’œuvre de Powning ainsi que des essais de conservateurs et de critiques, Peter Powning : Une rétrospective célèbre la carrière de l’un des meilleurs artistes visuels du Canada.

Recenzii

"A pleasure to read, and the perfect coffee table book to showcase inventive New Brunswick art."
"The book is much more than a usual exhibition catalogue: its bilingual text and images of the work, most photographed by Powning himself, offer a rare, intimate glimpse into a life devoted to the pursuit of a multi-disciplined practice."
