Press Release - NATURE OF DAYLIGHT (March 2017)
PETER BARNITZ
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.

New Orleans artist, Peter Barnitz. The
exhibition opens January 10 and runs through March 4, 2017. An artist’s reception will be held on January

Inspired by both dance and the intricate
choreography of sports, 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 or from 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."
