THE RIGHT TO LOVE (Interracial) is a 7x5 work on paper. Vintage sheet music is adapted and colored (prismacolor markers, pen.) The original image on the easel was replaced with a b&w photo booth picture (blown up, cut out, mounted on a sky background and hand-colored with prismacolor markers and photo dyes.) It is one in a series of Right to Love pieces. The sheet music Give Me the Right to Love You was published in 1917. The original painting on the artist's easel was an elegantly dressed, hugely-haired lady. I have replaced her with couples in a series that updates the modern possibilities for love. Better since the days anti-miscegenation laws, or not? A lyric from the song is ''We'll build a nest and fill it just full of love, Where we can coo like doves pretty doves turtle doves lovey doves. Give me the right to drive all your sorrows away."

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
