OVERVIEW
Peterson showcases a vibrant collection of large-scale oil paintings inspired by carousel animals. These works are characterized by dramatic layers of rich color and Peterson’s signature expressive brushwork. Each animal is a still-life conveying the spirit of exuberance found in the circus. However, this joy is contrasted by the animal’s captivity and serving as a stand in for the harnessing of the human spirit. Despite this, each animal is given wings, symbolizing their ability to rise above their hardships to become a symbol of hope and resilience.
