Description
John Petrey's is a striking mixed-media sculpture that merges mythology, ritual, and contemporary artistry. The figure wears a robe of richly patterned patchwork, assembled from reclaimed materials, creating a vibrant interplay of color and texture.The mask, with its elongated beak and circular goggle-like eyes, recalls both tribal shamans and the iconic forms of medieval plague doctors. Around its neck hangs a collection of handmade beads and organic adornments, while the staff it carries is crowned with natural and symbolic elements, reinforcing its role as a ceremonial guide.Petrey's meticulous craftsmanship transforms everyday and found objects into a layered, symbolic presence. embodies themes of protection, transformation, and spiritual connection, standing as both a contemporary artwork and a timeless archetype.
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.
