Description
Finding artistic inspiration through perusing junkyards and flea markets, Petrey’s sculptural garments are easily recognized by his inclusion of unusual and unlikely materials such as flattened bottle caps, plastic forks and spoons, poker chips, and recycled and salvaged metal advertisement signs. The base structure of his sculptures is typically made of resin, steel and fiberglass. Petrey then shapes and manipulates unconventional materials to take the form of pant suits, dresses, and other apparel reminiscent of outfits actors in 1950s and 60s television shows wore. Mixed Media Sculpture Featuring Found Objects. Megumi is part of John Petrey's "The Dress Series" and is a life size sculpture. It is constructed from textured copper with a blue oxide patina, vintage aluminum service station signs. This particular piece is strictly an indoor sculpture.
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.
