Pieter Schoolwerth - After Troy - Miguel Abreu - NYC



through December 22nd 2012

In this new series of works, Schoolwerth furthers his exploration of the effects of abstraction on the task of representingthe human body through painting. Grounded in an initial act of tracing the contours of a digital printout of SimonVouet’s Aeneas and His Family Fleeing Troy from1635, he develops his complex compositions by combining drawn,printed, and painted pictorial elements that generally compress the four figure scene at hand into what might bedescribed as a pulverized, single new figure in formation.
