Description
Random words, glimmers of vision, and sparks of imagination are fodder for John Petrey’s enthusiasm around his art. His materials are surprising. “This (dress) series is material driven. I see a material and immediately know what I want to do with it, how to manipulate it, and what look I want to create with it. I create soft, flowing textures from rigid materials.”
The materials John uses are recycled, reused and repurposed from industrial applications such as industrial stainless steel used in commercial furnaces, or vintage materials like copper ceiling tiles, signs, yardsticks, or bottle caps.
These sculptures have an odd push-pull characterization; one must look closer to realize they are made of stiff materials and are solid as opposed to soft. Perhaps the solidity refers to the “50’s woman” who he memorializes with his iconic ideals with which many of us were raised. The sculpture is an artistic take of the 1960's shirtwaist dress incorporating recycled metal, steel bottle cap bodice. (Graffiti enamel painted curled aluminum- black enamel painted bottle caps)
Presentation
Born in 1958, in Southern California, an only child to self employed parents, John spent many afternoons watching television and movies portraying perfect people, in perfect families, living in a perfect society. These shows had a profound impact on his career path. He pursued a career in advertising design, receiving an A.S. Degree in Graphic Design from Mt. San Jacinto College, followed by a B.S. Degree from Brooks Institute in Commercial Photography.
Throughout the 80's and 90's, he gained national recognition winning numerous awards, as a photographer in the area of food, celebrities and advertising. Throughout his career as a photographer any spare time he enjoyed was dedicated to creating art, building art furniture and restoring vintage motorcycles.
In 2003 John closed his photo studio to pursue his passion for sculpture and began creating several diverse bodies of work. John's art is included in both private and corporate collections, and has been shown in galleries and exhibitions throughout North America.
