Peter Bolte, current debris
Peter Bolte's exhibition current debris consists of recent paintings, photography, AI generations (with additional manipulation), and select films. Bolte utilizes recognizable (albeit absurdist) iconography and figures as tools to create a narrative that both reveals and contradicts itself as it is played out. Whether presenting a blatant reaction to our social environment or portraying a surreal disassociation, Bolte weaves themes that address humanity’s lack of critical thought, our human fallibilities expressed through miscommunication, lowered attention spans, celebrity idealization, dopamine spikes and dips, and modern-day superficial addictions - and then spits them all out through a post-pandemic paradigm, resulting in a sardonic and existential nightmare.
Peter Bolte is a St. Louis-based filmmaker and painter who has exhibited his work internationally. He has directed the feature films All Roads Lead and Dandelion Man, several experimental and narrative short films and music videos. Other notable credits include being cinematographer on The Booksellers (Greenwich Entertainment), the Emmy nominated documentary Casting By (HBO Documentaries), as well as being invited to the Artist Academy as an emerging filmmaker during the 2013 New York Film Festival at Lincoln Center.
Exhibition runs through October 25, 2024
Gallery hours 10am to 5pm Tuesday through Saturday
