Peter Acheson's 'Fifty Miles' at Maiden Lane Gallery
Peter Acheson's exhibition 'Fifty Miles' at Maiden Lane Gallery in Kingston, NY, curated by Teffia Primary, runs through July 12, 2026. The show features paintings and sculptures that explore fragility, opacity, and the desire to leave a mark. Works like 'Lesson From the Dark' and 'Trunk' use loose brushwork and impasto to blur boundaries. Clay sculptures formed by the artist's grip evoke Neolithic artifacts. The title references poet Gary Snyder's modest ambition. David Whelan's review notes the exhibition's resonance amid American political transition, offering a gentle repudiation of strongman posturing.
