Peter Barnitz at TEN Gallery NOLA - March 7th - 29th

| New Life, Mixed-media on canvas, 30 x 48 inches, 2014 |
Emerging artist Peter
Barnitz returns to TEN Gallery
with AFTER
THE DUST SETTLES, a dynamic collection of new mixed-media paintings on
canvas, centered on ideas of healing and new life. Minimal yet full of life, the paintings
choreograph geometric structure with visceral gesture to form a Balanchine-esque
ballet of concentration, patience, poise and the human spirit. The combination of these values encourage a
contemplative, tranquil and balanced response, where the onlooker is engulfed
in a cloud of networks, persuading them to explore the surface and yield to
their own understanding. The paintings
are composed of complex multiple layered patterns using lines, planes and
brushwork, which prompt a tango between the foreground and the background and encourage
a dialogue between organic forms, geometric structure, and abstract landscapes.
“The repetitive patterns created are not only a symbol of
hard work and determination, but a celebration of life, science, up close or
from a far, where the process of creation collides with a spiritual and
meditative goal. It is a way of life, a
discipline, a place of peace and reflection.
It is a dance of depth, space and motion, simple and complex, like a
song or silence between beats of a drum.”
Peter Barnitz received his B.F.A from Loyola University of
New Orleans in 2004 and earned his M.F.A. in Sculpture and Painting from the
University of New Orleans in 2011. In
2012, he established the Barnitz Academy of Fine Arts, where he instructs art
workshops for children and adults. He is a collective member of TEN Gallery and
currently works as the artist-in-residence at Kenner Discovery Health Sciences
Academy. In 2014, Mr. Barnitz was
appointed by Mayor Mike Yenni as an inaugural member of the Kenner Rivertown
Arts Council, where he serves as the Vice Chairman. Mr. Barnitz was born and raised in Metairie,
LA and currently lives and works out of his home studio in Kenner, LA.
