Please check out a short video with more images and the making of this piece (https://vimeo.com/332762078) and check back for updates! 'Hannah' was my most ambitious piece to date in a group of works I call sculpture/paintings. These 'sculpture/paintings' combine my life long interests in painting, design & engineering and building. NOTE: This piece can be shipped in several crates which will reduce the shipping cost dramatically, but, as the saying goes, ‘some assembly required.’ I will provide very clear instructions and be available to answer questions. Think IKEA and this will be even easier. Contact SaatchiArt and then me to discuss further. I use portraits or individuals or figure studies in the case of 'Hannah' for subject material because there is nothing more intriguing and endlessly fascinating than the human face and figure. But for me, these are explorations of point of view and time in the tradition of cubism- how can one capture in a static image something (someone) that is ever changing and not at all static- both by it's own nature as well as the always changing perspective of the viewer. I've been making these sculpture/paintings for years but 'Hannah' is the first to come off the wall as a free standing sculpture, intended to be viewed from all side. Previous works including 'Marcy' and 'Philippe' are 3-dimensional wall hung pieces and for a long time, I've wanted to share in a way the process of making these things and with 'Hannah' I've been able to do this.

Peter Root has been making art all his life though until recently, this was a parallel passion to his career as an architect and his work in facilities management at private colleges and universities including the University of Southern California, Stanford University and Amherst College. Born in Florida and raised in southern California with periods in Paris, France, he now lives with his wife and dogs in Vermont. His interest in painting and making art and his background in architecture come together in his sculpture paintings. These sculpture paintings are layered, not unlike an architect’s topographic map is layered- discrete segments roughly corresponding to their relative elevation or relief are cut out of plywood, assembled with a variety of structural elements and then the whole is painted. The current body of work is mainly (life size and larger) portraits however he doesn’t see himself strictly as a portraitist. “People are endlessly fascinating to me although for my art, I’m not trying to represent a specific individual so much as depict a gesture or expression to convey both a sense of a real person as well as a casual emotion that many people might connect with in themselves.” On the face of it (no pun intended) this work may not conjure up a connection to cubism but in fact Peter is really attracted to the problem of time and point of view in a static image. “There is no single viewpoint in which the viewer is able to take in the whole work. As one moves around, the impression received is constantly changing.” The canvas paintings are obviously more conventional portraits but in a sense, and with all due respect to the models for whom he has enormous appreciation and respect, Peter sees these works as faster and more spontaneous studies in light, form, scale and color which ultimately feeds back into the sculpture paintings.
