Artbay Gallery - A World Apart by Isaac Petersen
Location: Artbay Gallery Upstairs exclusive exhibition space Eichardts Building, Level 1, Marine Parade, Queenstown
Region: Queenstown
Dates: Fri, 7 July 2023 - Mon, 7 August 2023 @ Daily
Hyper-real paintings of the ocean, rivers and rugged landscape of New Zealand are have established Isaac Petersen firmly as an artist. River water flowing over boulders, white water smashing onto rocks, and contemplative subjects such as waves
lapping on the sand are rendered with phenomenal detail, depth, and transparency by Petersen. His figurative series depicting women in and around water is equally seductive, especially when he captures the figure diving into the water.
These works are so real you can feel the sun on your shoulders and hear the water ripple and splash. His wife, Erika is often the female figure in his paintings. Poolside scenes of her floating with sunlight on her skin or submerged under the surface are so technically brilliant they defy belief.
His paintings, without question, take the viewer with them. The work is predominantly large-scale – by amplifying the subject, it intensifies the connection of the viewer with his painted world. The exquisite detail he achieves and the way he captures light are a pure delight to view.
