Peter Peryer Fiona Pardington in conversation
May 11–31 2012
Peter Peryer was scheduled to have a solo exhibition here in May 2012
During Fiona Pardington’s 2011 exhibition she said “[I] would love to do work with Peter...very inspiring and humbling…”. This exhibition is the result. the brief being “it will just be a matter of the two of you keeping in touch concerning new work and making your selections”. We discussed something along the lines of still-life...[liberally interpreted]. Fiona’s work, though, references classic 17th C. Dutch still life painting with its inherent symbolism and allegorical meaning.
This conversation concept is a first for our gallery; as distinct from previous dual or collaborative exhibitions.
