JERRY PETHICK AT CATRIONA JEFFRIES

JERRY PETHICK
SEPTEMBER12 - OCTOBER 11, 2008
CATRIONA JEFFRIES GALLERY
Opening Reception: Friday September12,

Catriona Jeffries Gallery will present a solo exhibition of major works by Jerry Pethick. On the fifth anniversary of his passing, the exhibition will include large scale sculptural works, photographic arrays and numerous wall works representing the broad range of Pethick’s explorations into imaging technologies and epistemological thought. At a moment when a younger generation of artists such as Geoffrey Farmer and Gareth Moore are exploring new approaches to sculpture and material, the innovation of Pethick’s work is pivotal. His practice is strongly rooted in its visceral materiality and is marked by a rigorous inquiry into art history, science and theories of visual perception.
