Peter Reginato's Painting Debut at Adelson Galleries Features Dense Canvases and Sculptural Keys
Sculptor Peter Reginato presents his first-ever paintings on flat surfaces in a show at Adelson Galleries, running through August 21. The exhibition, subtitled "fiction," includes densely hung canvases alongside several sculptures, including three unpainted stainless steel table-top works that act as keys to the paintings' figural vocabulary. Reginato, known for polychromatic welding and assembly, has previously applied color only to three-dimensional forms. Works like "Season at Coole" and "Vibe, 2015" employ formal elements—surface, structure, shape motifs—that operate like competitive yet connective players in a raucous visual concert. The installation at 730 Fifth Avenue's 7th floor creates a visually noisy environment where paintings compensate for spatial flatness with intense compositional volume.
