Hanna Pettyjohn
The American Sweet
May 6 to June 6, 2009
Opening reception on May 6, Wednesday, 6pm
Hanna Pettyjohn, daughter of renowned potter Jon Pettyjohn, utilizes her expert fingers and technique in large-scale paintings in her new show, The American Sweet at SLab (Silverlens Lab). The show will have its opening reception on May 6, Wednesday at 6pm. Hanna details her experience as she attempted to discover her roots in Texas, where she worked in a Geological Engineering Laboratory. She brings these masked characters back to her home, the gritty environment of Manila, where their aseptic precautions become even more relevant. These portraits are combined with mundane suburban landscapes creating a milieu of quiet austerity. All the paintings imbibe an otherness that create an unequivocal tension with the local environment.
The American Sweet by Hanna Pettyjohn runs from May 6 to June 6, 2009 at SLab (Silverlens Lab). The show will be curated by Nilo Ilarde. Hanna will be giving an artist talk on May 23, 2009, Saturday, 3-5pm at SLab (Silverlens Lab).
