NYC-based abstract painter ANDREI PETROV joins MFA roster

ANDREI PETROV on his process:

The production of a painting begins with a pencil or ink drawing on paper which I extrapolate from and edit as I work the canvas. First with pencil or charcoal and then with color washes done with acrylic or ink, I map the raw canvas and allow it to be ingrained with the materials. Once satisfied with the composition and balance, the surface is sealed with a clear acrylic so as to allow the use of oil based pigments. Handmade tools are used to drag, apply, scrape and blend the paint across the canvas plane. Sandpaper and rags also propel the evolution of the work. The addition and subtraction of paint are meant to act as a metaphor for the intentions and motives for which the paintings are based.”


ANDREI PETROV’s paintings can be viewed locally at DC’s Four Seasons Hotel in Georgetown as well as in the following notable public collections:

NYC Based JASON SHO GREEN Exhibits in Germany

7 Jul
In August MFA’s JASON SHO GREEN will travel to Leipzig, Germany to build an interactive art installation at the One Sided Story Residency. He is building a large 3-D landscape that begins with sculptures of nature, inspired by Ikebana (Japanese flower arrangement), then spirals into a dense cityscape. As nature turns to city, it becomes a lush chaos of robotics, sensors, cameras, projections, buildings, and people. It will be internet connected, with streaming video, with some parts controllable via the website, so you can interact from anywhere!
 
In October SHO GREEN will be exhibiting twice with Akademie Schloss Solitude, one of the premier art organizations in Germany – one exhibition in Stuttgart and another in Leipzig.
 
Congratulations on your international successes, Jason!
