Jason Peters

Fascinated by the destabilization of perception, artist Jason Peters creates illusory spaces and alternative realities through his work. Intentionally designed to trigger a cathartic sense of the sublime in his viewers, the artist amasses vast quantities of discarded objects from everyday life that he then reconfigures in surprisingly unexpected ways. The results lift these “societal casts-offs” – including contractors’ buckets and metal chair frames – beyond the bounds of ordinary physical existence and invite the viewer to see beauty where before there was refuse, to experience flux where before there was stasis, to experience a focused calm where before there was alarm.
