About the Item
Robert W. Petrick
"Labyrinth" Construction series, 2022
Acrylic on canvas
56x56x1.5”
NYC, 2nd street studio
June 16, 2022One can easily become lost in Robert Petrick’s "untitled"’s kaleidoscopic neon labyrinth of acrylic. However, one does not become lost in the boredom of the familiar but in the excitement of the otherworldly. We so often feel lost in the same boring problems that forever plague our minds, the same irritations of our daily routines, the same empty and meager entertainments and distractions, that stumbling into a maze of the unfamiliar is one of our most exciting, terrifying, and boundary-pushing experiences. Petrick does not invite us into the labyrinth; he throws us in, and our eyes uncontrollably traverse its twists and turns. It attracts the viewer’s eyes like a magnet to metal, yet it does not draw their attention to a specific part of the canvas but, instead, to its entirety.
- John Crowther, Critic
Robert Petrick's paintings create a link between the street culture of the East Village, where he has lived for 31 years, and the power of symbols, geometry, and language. This work captures the excitement of the East Village in its color, shapes, energy and density.
--
In 1984, Petrick stenciled two designs on walls along Avenue B. Capturing a moment in time, EXIST / EXIT and NOWHERE / NOW HERE were photographed and featured in Vogue magazine. The images presented graffiti as art, a concept that was gaining international attention after the release of Charlie Ahearn’s Wild Style and a number of hit songs and music videos. Today Robert Petrick is a prominent artist based in New York City.

Robert Petrick
Exceptional color combinations balanced with loosely configured shapes define the abstract geometric art of noted painter and typographer Robert Petrick. Through his rhythmic and lyrical abstract paintings, Petrick explores avant-garde style while establishing a link between the street culture of the East Village in New York City and the beauty of language.
Born in 1945, Petrick won a high school scholarship to study at Philadelphia’s Tyler School of Art, now the Tyler School of Art and Architecture at Temple University. In 1983, he moved to New York City, where he became immersed in developing his unique artistic style, based on the New York School of Abstract Expressionism, as coined by the artist Robert Motherwell in 1949.
The following year, Petrick gained critical attention for two designs he stenciled on the walls of New York’s Avenue B. Titled EXIT/EXIST and NOWHERE/NOW HERE, the works were featured in Vogue magazine and recognized by critics as compelling graffiti art.
Throughout his distinguished career, Petrick’s figurative paintings, still-life works and graphic designs have been featured on album covers and in commercial projects. His series include Shape, Gesture, Graffiti and the recent City Block, in which Petrick conveys the atmosphere of the East Village with color, shapes, energy and density.
Petrick has exhibited in solo and group gallery shows throughout New York. His works are also in demand with collectors of 20th- and 21st-century abstract art.
