Peyton Wright Gallery is pleased to present “The World Is My Oyster,” a second one-woman show of new paintings by Ati Maier, March 3 - April 3, 2023.
The exhibition takes its title from the large-scale painting “Oyster World” (2020).
Indicative of the playful nature of Maier's work in general, the axiomatic phrase “The world is your oyster” invites the viewer to experience a universe spawned of airbrush and acrylic paint, but which also looks entirely convincing as a snapshot of deep space.
This aesthetic world made of lines, shapes, and fields of color became Maier's oyster over the course of the last three decades.
Ati Maier is a multidisciplinary artist whose practice includes drawing, painting, photography, 3-D video animation, installation, performance, and live action video. She was born in Munich, Germany in 1962 and has studied, lived and worked in Vienna, Berlin and New York City.
