"When words become unclear, I shall focus with
photographs.
When images become inadequate, I shall be content
with silence."
Ansel Adams

All photographs are there to remind us of what we
forget.
In this - as in other ways - they are the opposite of
paintings.
Paintings record what the painter remembers. Because
each one of us forgets different things, a photo more than a painting may change
its meaning according to who is looking at it. -John Berger

| Current Exhibition March 2012 from the Cross Mackenzie Gallery in DC |
Exquisite screens, drawings and paintings
on paper and steel, by one of Washington DC's most well established and
accomplished artists, Peter Charles. Charles' sophisticated aesthetic
and powerful graphic sensibility dominates the work in this solo
exhibition spanning a decade of the artist's mature work. His
large-scale, painted folding screens are inspired by traditional
Japanese screen designs and 19th century American still life painting – a
fusion of east and west. The artist paints both faces of the screens
in a complimentary relationship and employs the mechanics of the antique
screens using modern day durable materials.
Description complementary from the cross mackenzie art gallery exhibition. Rebecca Cross and Max MacKenzie proprietors.
