Having recently reintroduced himself to printmaking, Peter Lipsitt is offering both new prints and sculpture developed together. This exhibition embraces the visual relationships between the two artistic arenas. Human and architectural scale unify to create a music of lights and darks, interaction of solids and voids, subtle coloration, and lyrical lines. A dialogue of drawing processes occurs between the two disciplines—spontaneity and immediacy of the inked monotypes on the one hand and more deliberative manipulation of materials in space on the other. Subject matter is affected by the background noise of political calamity; the smell of ink and oil are in the air.

Lipsitt, inventing with Somerset paper, inked and printed, then fabricated several works that bridge the gap between 2 and 3 dimensions. Another sculpture, an assemblage of lumber, plywood and steel, reaches almost to the ceiling and includes discoveries made in the print studio. The bronzes, as intimate as maquettes, imply a scale of outdoor sculpture. Meanwhile, the various prints draw the viewer into mysterious, light-filled, passageways and cul-de-sacs, an illusionistic world limited only by the picture frame.
