THE ADORATION is a 36x 24 acrylic work on canvas. It uses found objects and photos, ink, photo oils, and dyes. Inspired by the fact that in the late 1980's people with AIDS had trouble getting medical care at an NYC Catholic hospital. Also a reaction to religious hypocrisy then and even more now with the endless abuse scandals. (Subtitle of this work is "In the Privacy of the Cardinal's Chapel.") In high school we had to paint huge backgrounds "copied" from famous works of art and then students performed tableaux in front of them. The background here is VERY loosely taken from a Renaissance painting and I apologize to the artist. The nun is from an 1880's cabinet card found in New Haven. The man (same one left and right) is from a late 19th century anatomy study sheet, copied, colored and cut out.

From the New York Times:"Peter J. Ketchum knows how to get the viewer's attention. Shown widely around the country, his pictures commingle colors, people, situations, commentary and mediums in a manner that is provocative, funny and to the point. Attempts to pigeonhole the work as Pop, folk, cartoon, mixedmedia, collage, anthropomorphic, or merely strange tend to fall short of the mark!" Five works were included in 35 Artists of North America, curated by Thomas Krens, former director of the Guggenheim Museum. Ketchum received a degree in fine arts from Colby College and did additional study at the School of Visual Arts in NYC. He studied privately with George Baer. The New York City based artist's work is in the permanent collections of the Smithsonian Institute, The Norfolk History Museum and Colby. It has been shown at the Brooklyn Museum, The Bushnell, The Springfield Museum of Fine Art, and The Discovery Museum. The artist has shown in solo and group shows in Boston and NYC, including Exit Art, Lumina, SOHO 20, HERE, the Williamsburg (Brooklyn) Art Center, Real Artways,the Charter Oak Cultural Center and TNC Gallery. Curators and/or gallery owners who have shown his work include Ethan and Ivan Karp (OK Harris, NYC), Susan Dunne (Pace NYC), John Klein (The Aldrich Museum) and Matthew Druitt (The Guggenheim.) www.peterjketchum.com www.saatchionline.com/PeterKetchum
