Peter G. Pereira Sculpture


My favorite artist had a sculpture exhibition on Governors Island this weekend. It was during a festival called "Figment" which is getting bigger and better every year. Do yourself a favour one weekend jump on the 4 Train, get to Bowling Green and catch the free ferry over to Governors Island. It's simply a magical place.


Peter G. Pereira made me look at a tree like I never looked at it before. The natural bumps and bruises became heightened as he wrapped them up in abstract swirling paintings that mimicked the age of the tree from the outside in. This was simply spectacular! The kids loved it and I hope he gets to do all of Central Park!
