Franklin Parrasch Gallery is pleased to announce Peter Alexander: Recent Works, the gallery’s sixth solo exhibition with the artist. A fully illustrated catalogue, including a new essay written by Alex Kitnick, accompanies the show.

The works exhibited, dating from 2016 to present, represent a continuation of Peter Alexander’s decades-long exploration of the perceptual limits of space and light through volume and color. As he continues to employ forms both beholden and unbound to the wall, Alexander invents new modes of interpreting these qualities. Leaners and wedges imitate architectonic elements at a human scale, testing perceptual capacity as the volumes emerge and recede in space and visibility. The artist’s wall-based bar works—such as Al Fresco (2018), Not On My Watch (2018), and Peaches n Cream (2018)—are slightly chatoyant and seem to radiate light, resulting in a dynamic vibrancy contrasting their static support. Alexander’s wedge-like or cubic forms, which he refers to as “rooms” or “quiet places to go,” encourage viewers to consider the possibilities of interior space as it relates to volume, color, and transparency.
