ALL OF THE ABOVE

All of the Above:

As an artist, Peter Gronquist makes it a point not to get tied up to any particular style or methodology. In filtering through his experiments with new materials, All of the Above brings together two distinct styles in both painting and sculpture.
The first consists of abstract, sometimes minimal and sometimes expressive drop box paintings. These explorations of color and form are highlighted from within the work itself by hand sanded plexiglass covers, allowing an ethereal glow that bounces onto the viewer as they stand before it.
The second body of work presents the artist’s further explorations with infinity mirrors. Gold sculptures encased in mirrors fade into the abyss in perfect clarity. The subject matter of each is enhanced by seemingly endless repetition of the forms, giving it a new depth that is unique from his efforts with his paintings.
