Peter Buchman American Graffiti Neon, 2024

About the Item

Contemporary New York artist Peter Buchman's American Graffiti Neon is in white for a reason. It's clean, clear, not cluttered, not everywhere and not obnoxious. The phrase is about his continued introspection of words and writing as well as our American cultural landscape. An idea that happens to be regarding our overabundance, our littered landscape of many things including signs and lights, but not. It is about opposites: trying to create beauty from the ugly at the same time and what is possible as light is magical. It's also about history and what comes and goes because nothing is forever. Positive to negative, light to dark, life and death - he is having serious fun with the technology and the prose as an iconic image. The neon comes with the ability to blink fast or slow or not all - it's your choice. This is made to order and comes with a certificate of authenticity from the artist. Ships directly from the artist’s studio in East Hampton, NY. Image 7: American Graffiti Neon installed at the artist's home in East Hampton. Peter Buchman is an American artist with a BFA in Illustration from The Rhode Island School of Design and did a Sculpture Residency at The School of Visual Arts in New York. Peter's artwork has been exhibited throughout the US since 1981 including the Parrish Art Museum (Southampton, NY), Cooperstown Museum (NY), Delaware Museum of Art, Kidder Smith Gallery (MA) and Vered Gallery (Easthampton). His work is included in the portfolios of collectors including Beth Rudin DeWoody, Nicole Miller, David Yurman and Howard Schultz. He is currently located in New York and East Hampton.

  • Peter Buchman "Now Showing”, Voice-Over Paintings Series, 2024
    By Peter Buchman
    Located in New York, NY
    Contemporary New York artist Peter Buchman's 'Now Showing' is created using laser-cut plexiglass, acrylic medium, and enamel on wood. It's part of his Voice-Over series, in which the artist gathers linguistic phrases to immortalize the valuable contributions of other cultures to the American Diaspora. To describe Buchman's word paintings as 'A Figure of Speech' is an understatement of the profound soulfulness they embody. They bear the marks of the artist's hand but also carry the collective spirit of those who came before him. These words derive from familiar phrases, music albums, his unique brand of irony, and the very essence of the human form. 'Now Showing' draws inspiration from Film Noir, a genre that held a profound influence on Peter's film and cinematic journey. The strident and punctual dialogue always fascinated him, along with the black and white director's perspectives. As an artist who spent hours drawing and sketching in pencil, the dramatic black and white hardened scenes just gripped him. He wanted smoke and spit and to rough something up. He wanted to emulate those textures, those scenes, that gut reaction with danger but in a poetic sense. The work reflects someone who is under interrogation, spilling their guts out, or just spilling the beans. It's a collection of phrases Peter unearthed or scratched out from movies or vintage pulp...
