Come on DOWN to RIVERTOWN!!! Saturday, January 20th (5 - 8 PM)

The Kenner RIvertown Arts Council presents...

Down By The River: P.S. Satellite - A Project of Prospect New Orleans

The exhibition is a curated selection of art in various media that emphasizes our relationship with the water in which we live with every day. From the river to the lake, to the swamps and surrounding spillways, we are surrounded and connected. A selection of local artists interprets their personal interactions with the water involving topics such as life, meditation, peace, growth, healing, nourishment, recreation, mythology, satire, even fear and adventure. Just like the river, our lives are ever changing moving and connected to each other.  

The exhibition will include murals and a Pop Up art exhibition in the Kenner Rivertown Community Courtyard.

Artist/Curator Peter Barnitz on the inspiration for the exhibition...

"The face of the water, in time, became a wonderful painting--a painting that was a dead language to the uneducated passenger, but which told its mind to me without reserve, delivering its most cherished secrets as clearly as if it uttered them with voice.  And it was not a painting to be visited once and thrown aside, for it had a new story to tell every day"  (Mark Twain:  Life on the Mississippi)

Artists Included: Joshua Windham, Alfredo Ott III, Peter Barnitz, Angel Perdomo, James Flynn, Kay Franz, Katie Puchot, Dwight Harris, Antoine Prince, Demetria Bridges, Cheri Ben-iesau, Dianne Georgy Garrett, Marlena Doherty, Zulay Herrera, Drew Cooke, Timothy Barr Rowland, Christian Perkins, Andie Cancienne, David Rex Joyner, Danny Jupiter, Kevin Hunts and Charlie Johnson.

The Wall: Good Fences Make Good Neighbors

A rendition of the proposed metaphorical/physical "Trump Wall", to be built along the southern border of the United States of America and Mexico. It is a politically neutral sculpture that sparks a conversation about issues surrounding legal/illegal immigration and border security. The aesthetically pleasing, free flowing "golden border" sculpture contrasts with its heavy subject matter. Do fences really make good neighbors? 

Recently published by The New Orleans Advocate about THE WALL........

"At first, Peter Barnitz's "The Wall" looks like a stray piece of minimalist sculpture that wandered into another show.  But a closer glance reveals that the understatedly scale of a fetish object, all sinous in gold leaf.  In it's mixture of formal elegance and conceptual depth, it represents the best kind of art that Lewis' curatorial hand has selected for this year's Louisiana Contemporary.   Facing Up Tough Issues in the Louisiana Contemporary Group Show,  By:  John D'Addario - The New Orleans Advocate

➡"At first, Peter Barnitz’s “The Wall” looks like a stray piece of minimalist sculpture that wandered in from another show. But a closer look reveals that the understatedly elegant piece is indeed that much-vaunted “big and beautiful wall” reduced to the scale of a fetish object, all sinuous lines and gold leaf.

In its mixture of formal elegance and conceptual depth, it represents the best kind of art that Lewis’ curatorial hand has selected for this year’s Louisiana Contemporary."

NATURE OF DAYLIGHT                                                     4 March - 26 March   2017

Peter Barnitz- NATURE OF DAYLIGHT- (March 2017) TEN GALLERY-New Orleans, LA

PRESS RELEASE

TEN GALLERY is pleased to present, Nature of Daylight, an exhibition of New Orleans-based artist Peter Barnitz.  For his fourth solo exhibition at the gallery, Barnitz reveals his latest series of contemplative and Reductivist mixed media paintings.  The artist spins intricate webs of pattern and color, which harness a sense of space and dimension.  Barnitz's mixed media paintings on canvas encourage a dialogue between organic form, geometric structure and abstract landscape.  The exhibition opens March 4 and runs through March 26.  An artist reception will be held from 6 - 9 p.m. on Saturday, March 4, 2017.

Inspired by nature, light and life, Barnitz creates visually complex, deeply meditative abstractions that combine the notion of movement with an appreciation of the schematic.  Delicately rendered, utilizing interwoven and playful geometric clusters, Barnitz’s paintings emphasize the passage of time, the mesh of nature and the poise of the human spirit.    

“The patterns and forms created are not only a symbol of hard work and determination, but a celebration of life, art of the human hand, and exploration up close and afar, where the process of creation collides with a spiritual and meditative goal,” Barnitz said.  “I use repetition of lines and shapes to create what I regard as a peaceful gathering of energy. These patterns can be freely interpreted as the co-dependency between everything in existence, which contributes to the changing balance of life.”

Peter Barnitz, originally from Metairie, LA, earned his BFA from Loyola University of New Orleans (2004) and MFA from the University of New Orleans (2011).  Currently living in Kenner, LA, Barnitz is the founder of the Barnitz Academy of Fine Arts and art director and artist-in-residence at Kenner Discovery Health and Sciences Academy, as well as, the chairman of the Kenner Rivertown Arts Council.  

His work has been exhibited nationally and internationally in more than 40 group and solo shows, including the USC Upstate Gallery on Main in Spartanburg, SC, the 2016/2017 Art Fields Exhibition in Lake City, SC, the 2015 Bombay Sapphire Artisan Series Finale at SCOPE Miami Beach, FL and the 2015 Exposure Nature Collection Exhibition at the Musee du Louvre, in Paris France.
