ABOUT THE ARTWORK

Pigment print on archival, 300gsm matt surface paper. All paper sizes include a 2 inch white border around the print for framing. Edition 1/5. "The Escape Artist" is part of the larger body of work titled 'Interventions'. In this series, Horvath deconstructs images from his archive of 20th Century magazines, cutting and pasting fragments out of their intended frame of reference, creating hyper-real, imagined, colour saturated environments. While his imagery is sourced from material that was originally conceived to impact influence (such as mid-century advertisements) it is collaged with the intent of removing the initial context and reason, creating optimistic narratives informed by childhood memories

Peter Horvath is an assemblage and new media artist. Exhibiting in museums and galleries globally, his work is included in numerous permanent and private collections. Embracing digital technologies at the birth of the Web, he created audio/video narrative works through selective editing of film footage and the use of his early collages. His assemblage works similarly focus on deconstructing and recontextualizing imagery through collage. Merging street ephemera, movie posters, photographs, ink, acrylic and spray paint, Horvath’s densely layered assemblage portraits reflect on his fascination with media consumption, cultural icons and urban decay.
