Peter Marcus, area head of printmaking at Washington University’s School of Fine Arts, will have a one-man showing of seven new works at the Kathryn Markel Gallery, 50 West 57th Street, New York City, N.Y., opening April 1st.
The artist, who holds an M.F.A. in printmaking from Brooklyn College, Brooklyn, N.Y., also has studied at the Parson’s School of Design and New York University, both in New York City.
Marcus, who has stated that “the nature of contemporary art should be experimental,” describes his works as paintings which deal with non-multiple images. “I deal with light sensitive-materials, using multi-media techniques which combine printmaking and painting. My work does not fit into particular categories.”
Widely-exhibited, Marcus’s showings include the St. Louis Art Museum, the Albright Knox Gallery, Buffalo, N.Y.; and the Blue Parrot Gallery, New York City.
Marcus has participated in many national shows, among them the MidWest Artists Show at the Krannert Museum, Champaign-Urbana, Ill., in 1976. His work is represented in permanent collections at the Brooklyn Museum; the United States Embassy, Nicosia, Cyprus; the Museum of Fine Arts, Dallas, Texas; and the St. Louis Art Museum.
Marcus’s exhibit at the Kathryn Markel Gallery will run through May 1st.
