The Church's final Insight Sunday program of the year, set for Sunday at noon, will feature Peter Solow, a visual artist and educator from Sag Harbor whose work "Piazza Signoria" is on view in the venue's current exhibition "Here and There: The First Churchennial."
While best known for his oil paintings and drawings, Mr. Solow has more recently experimented with mixed-media works integrating painting, drawing, photography, and digital technology.
"Piazza Signoria" is a 14-foot-long mixed-media piece the artist worked on while in residence at The Church. Reading it from left to right, the technique rests on photographs from the Piazza della Signoria in Florence, the home of the Uffizi Gallery; then transitions into orange-hued hand-rendering recalling the preparatory drawings that Renaissance masters such as Michelangelo used in the creation of wall murals.
While Mr. Solow draws inspiration from such sources as Giacometti, Manet, Cassatt, Rembrandt, Van Gogh, Matisse, and Mondrian, his work is also connected to the American Experience, including visual art by Hopper, Homer, Franz Kline, Stieglitz, Dorothea Lange, Berenice Abbott, music by Aaron Copland, and the poetry of Walt Whitman.
Tickets are $10, free for members who R.S.V.P.
