In the GardenC.A.M Gallery will present “Bahçede” the recent works of Peter Hristoff, opening September 29th, and running through November 5th 2009. In this body of work (paintings, works on paper and rugs), the artist explores the theme of the expulsion from paradise and all of the implications of that particular narrative. Loosely based on Masaccio’s classic fresco in Florence’s Brancacci Chapel, the artist works with models who theatrically recreate the story of Adam and Eve. Drawings and photographs are used as reference to paint and screen print images that are carefully layered with intense colors to create iconic depictions of the repercussions of temptation. The artist uses the familiar tale to express not only his interest in references art historical and biblical but to also comment on the pathos of human experience as well as its beauty. Themes of duality are of recurrent examination – oriental and occidental, erotic and ascetic, vice and virtue being some of the issues that Hristoff has addressed. Identity, sexuality, the psychology of desire and of guilt, current events, as well as the artist’s interpretation of "contemporary orientalism" and Ottoman bahnames run through the work being exhibited. Hristoff will be simultaneously showing 12 pieces from an on-going series entitled "Everything and Nothing" at the Pera Museum in "Octet: Selected Works from the School of Visual Arts, New York."
