"As the tides and valleys of the artworld shift quickly, Peter has persistently and consistently maintained his vision as well as challenged himself in both scale and subject. He is also a consummate craftsman, working in wood, concrete, iron, bronze, glass, and fiberglass. Peter’s work varies from large-scale installations to more succinct individual objects. In an overview of his work over the years, there is an amazing variation in style and a sensibility distinctively his that is at the core of his sculpture."⁠ ⁠ Read Neil Goodman's full article on and interview with Peter Shelton in "EYEHAND" published in the New Art Examiner via our linkin.bio.

Happy birthday, Peter Shelton! Today we celebrate our friend,neighbor, and the extensive, fascinating body of work that has been gifted to us through him. Shelton’s artistic career holds a rich exhibition history including solo shows at the Whitney Museum of American Art and LACMA, an impressive array of awards such as the Louis Comfort Tiffany Foundation Grant and the John S. Guggenheim Foundation Fellowship, and his work is held in the collections of MoMA, the Smithsonian American Art Museum, the Getty Museum, among many others. Though his oeuvre is constituted by highly varied projects, one distinctive Sheltonian thread running throughout is the accomplishment of embodiment achieved not through direct figuration or specific representation but through relation. In Shelton’s work we see while we are simultaneously seen, as our awareness of our own being in relation to these objects is heightened. “To me, the whole point of sculpture, most of the time, is that it creates something that is alive in a kind of improbable way. Sculpture is a thing you bump into, that you relate to with your body. So sculptures are always good in creating this self-awareness we have about our own physicality, and about how it is that we are alive or not alive, or how it is that we are fixed, or how it is that we are heavy.” (Excerpt from an interview for LACMA’s ‘Unframed,’ 2017) (IMAGES: 1. © Peter Shelton, c. 2004.
