About Josh Peters

Josh Peters is a contemporary abstract artist that has shown his work in NYC, Los Angeles, and abroad.  Peters reveals much of his identifiers: remnants of process, reductive shapes, and objectified material. Through Peters’ personal development of his unique painterly language, he touches on greater issues. His richly textured canvases are fearlessly painted and exposed to a variety of painterly processes. Always evident is a continual exploration that keeps his surfaces unpredictable. Peters, a self-taught artist, developed a language of painterly abstraction through an investigative reworking of surfaces. The rich patina of time-worn metal and chipped paint appears as inspiration. Peters’ work reflects the same beauty in its arbitrariness and randomly occurring wonder through a rich build-up of processes. But his work is more than beauty through controlled chaos; there is structural depth and bold color contrasts. He currently lives in Madison, Wisconsin.
