About the Item
"Plein Air Painter" is a key work of art among Peter Schenck's many remarkable paintings, and addresses situations that continue to fascinate the artist – the creative act, the performance of the artist, nerves of steel and nerves shattered all at once in a ridiculous, soulful lunge at something true. Or at least wholly true for a moment. The artist at the vanguard of free expression – brush and palette in hand, encouraged to fly, cheered by crowds whether soaring upward or crashing badly.
"Plein Air Painter" is an oil paint and oil stick on canvas measuring 48" tall by 36" wide. It was originally shown at Peter Schenck's solo show at Arts + Leisure Gallery, New York City.
From Daniel Gerwin – "Schenck’s color is vibrant, wild, saturated to the point of overheating, and altogether brilliant in the balancing of hues, temperatures, shapes, and color quantities. The paintings have a remarkable coherence for their dizzying juxtaposition of so many small chromatic passages." (Essay: The Anxiety and the Ecstasy)
Peter Schenck lives and paints in Brooklyn, NY. He received his BFA from Boston University (2006) and his MFA from the University of Pennsylvania (2009).

The artists most obviously in Schenck’s pantheon are Picasso, Philip Guston, and Peter Saul. Their patriarchal power is noteworthy in the context of the Oedipal eyeballs repeated from one painting to the next; Schenck’s work manifests the anxiety of influence, but the ecstasy as well. The fear of painting in the wake of such magnificent and terrible fathers is palpable, but no less so is Schenck’s obvious delight in adapting their discoveries to his own purposes. His works demonstrate his mastery over his idiosyncratic cartoonish language, his personal world of symbols, and his palette, which is all his own. Schenck has arrived at a place in his artistry where he gets the last laugh. - Daniel Gerwin, contributing art critic to Art Forum, The Brooklyn Rail and Hyperallergic Peter Schenck / Artist Bio: Peter Schenck (b. 1983, New York, NY) lives and paints in Brooklyn, NY.

View All"Strengths and Weaknesses", acrylic, charcoal, art history, abstract, portrait
Located in Toronto, Ontario
"Strengths and Weaknesses" is a portrait exploring several elements and strategies that fascinate the artist – notably the performance anxiety induced by simply being an artist, staring down the freight train of art history as it hurtles toward you every time you pick up a brush. Luck? Talent? Maybe. There are signposts and guides in this painting, of course (Cubism! Surrealism! Brancusi! Guston!), but they can clobber you too if you're not careful. Even the phrase "strengths and weaknesses" smacks of compromises and rationalization – deadly to an artist looking to construct their own integral world.
"Strengths and Weaknesses" is an acrylic and charcoal on canvas measuring 54" tall by 54" wide. It was included in the artist's solo show "Comedy Cellar" at Freight + Volume Gallery, New York City in July 2018. (See last photograph for an installation view.)
From Daniel Gerwin – "Schenck’s color is vibrant, wild, saturated to the point of overheating, and altogether brilliant in the balancing of hues, temperatures, shapes, and color quantities. The paintings have a remarkable coherence for their dizzying juxtaposition of so many small chromatic passages." (Essay: The Anxiety and the Ecstasy)
