Beach: Works by Sean Pearson and Kyle Petreycik

This exhibition serves as an undergraduate thesis exhibition that reflects each artist’s development in the past months in terms of artistic practice with a focus on sculptural works.

Kyle Petreycik (b. 1989, Fairfield, Connecticut.) Kyle works by developing assemblages through a series of small gestures. He celebrates each material and its individual ambience by way of slight manipulations. In using simple elements of woodworking and snapshot photography, he attempts to reference his conscious and unconscious relationship to high and low-end commercial appeal.

Sean Pearson (b. 1989, Bremerton, Washington.) Sean’s practice is driven by responding to objects in a way that brings about a new potential meaning. He will be showing mixed media sculptures that are object based with an emphasis on manipulation. The current mediums that Sean has been employing within his practice include the use of glass casting, woodworking and other physical labor based processes.
