John Petrey Figurative Sculptures

American, b. 1958
Garment-themed sculpture, John Petrey is a visual artist who fuses the symbolism of his 50's and 60's childhood memories with everyday materials. His whimsical and often vintage style offers complex art pieces that beg to be studied and pondered. His work ethic, drive and unique work have brought him success as a dress sculptor in a class of his own. In the past 12 years, John's garment-themed sculptured apparel has become well-known nationally. He has work in private, public and corporate collections and is represented by 10 galleries throughout the US. Born in the late 50's, his art influence originates from the tv shows and movies.
