Painting, Oil on Canvas
Size: 48 W x 48 H x 3 D in
These recent paintings originated in a search for new meanings in my work. I search for and use images from the past to comment on contemporary society. The images become metaphors for interactions between men and women, and for our constant search for meaning in our lives, but they also touch upon our darker motivations, our “shadow side”, the sometimes hidden reasons we act as we do. Blindfolded people are not handicapped but must rely on other senses to guide them, most importantly the intellect, since vision is hindered. Also, art being visual, it points to doubts we may have about vision as “truthful” and as a guide to meaning. Ultimately, I hope my paintings cause the viewer to question, reflect, and perhaps understand how an artist might introduce philosophical questions into art works. Peter ILLIG

Peter ILLIG is known for his complex paintings that walk a line between post-modern semiotics and traditional illustration. Involved in Denver's art scene, producing thought-provoking oil paintings composed of layered images mixing color with black-and-white. Dubbed by the press as a "neo-pop surrealist," and "one of Denver's best artists." Peter Illig's works are analogies for human emotions and experiences, American psychological landscapes reflecting how we think of several things at once. He layers images borrowed from film, TV, cyberspace, and his own experience like a coded language of symbols to express his ideas and feelings. This search through the stuff of the world, matter and flesh, is inherently erotic. And so is the act of drawing and painting. These meanings and objects intersect and overlap in life, and in Illig's art. Where does one object end and another begin? Where does one idea end and another begin to form? Can theory become visual? These and other questions are presented in Illig's work. Peterillig.com
