PETER KUTTNER

Some art is purely the result of spontaneous creation, while other works yield to a process. The work of artist Peter Kuttner straddles the wavering line between both. Each of Kuttner’s creations is the serendipitous result of combining layers of up-cycled mixed media or byproducts from his other works. Apart of creating an aesthetic, Kuttner’s finished pieces capture moments in time and present them in a vocabulary of their own.

At the heart of Kuttner’s work is a conscientious effort to create zero-waste art. Pieces from his Cut-Out series, on display at Grace Renee Gallery, have been compared to the work of Matisse in their utilitarian simplicity. Kuttner utilizes negative space and abstracted details to create lively and colorful pieces with intoxicating texture and depth.

Kuttner’s work has been embraced by Architectural Digest magazine, in popular films and television shows, including Californication, Two and a Half Men, and Nashville, and has been exhibited alongside other prominent American contemporary artists in shows, museums, and private, royal, and corporate collections from coast to coast.
