Ronald Peetz: Work in Progress
Exhibit: February 11 – April 2, 2025
Reception: February 14, 6 – 9 PM (FREE)
Artist Ronald Peetz has been a stalwart part of the regional art scene since the late 1960s. As an object maker and sculptor, he delights in incorporating puns, word play, and irreverent humor into his work. Starting with his concept, he chooses any one of the many media he employs, to best make his idea come to life. In so doing, his sculpture and mixed media pieces lean heavily towards social critique and parody, blended with a lighter touch of humor and surrealism. Equally present is his interest in the history of art, particularly his own 20th century inspirations, from René Magritte and Marcel Duchamp, to William T. Wiley, one of his friends and mentors.
Artist Talk with Ronald Peetz
March 15, 1 – 2:30 PM (FREE, $10 donation suggested)
Talking with Ronald Peetz is much like his work – fun and full of humor. Peetz’s conceptual pieces are anything but dry, as he uses materials such as baseballs, violin cases, and funerary headstones, to underline his political and social messages. Join him as he talks about his days as an art student in the 60s, inspired by artists such as Stephen Kaltenbach, William Wiley, and others.
Sponsored by Helen Richardson.
The Pence Gallery is open 11:30 AM – 5 PM, Tuesday through Sunday (closed Mondays).
