Editorial SF ARTS reviews ASG's current Gugger Petter show

Presenting the fifth solo exhibition by Gugger Petter entitled Tabletops & Portraits.

"My execution of each piece emphasizes the textured surface and the newspaper material. This creates a visual tension between texture and image, while also presenting a blurring between representation and abstraction". - Gugger Petter.

This is what SF/Arts curator Christian L. Frock had to say about Gugger Petter: Tabletops & Portraits:
​
Gugger Petter’s work is based on manipulations of newspaper that reference both sculpture and textiles, with an element of the conceptual as well. Given that Petter works from time-stamped documents, each reflecting the social issues and concerns of their time, the resulting constructions offer an abstracted diary of sorts, reflecting both larger world events and a moment in the life of the artist.
