new paintings
david nolan gallery, new york
april 2 – may 23, 2009

beigning april 2nd, new york’s david nolan gallery will be presenting new largescale paintings by american
artist peter saul. the seven acrylic paintings on show were made over the past two years. they are a vibrant
continuation of saul’s long career and tackle subjects such as, racism, pedophilia and feminism. despite
beginning his artistic career in the 1950’s, saul continues to create art at the age of 74. painting without
assistants, the artist has built a reputation as an outsider and troublemaker. these painting were created using
saul’s method of building up pre-mixed acrylics with a dry brush technique that results in something similar
to graffiti. while saul’s work is currently touring the united states, his career has been described as receiving
an unjust and ‘ongoing lack of official recognition’ despite his avid following of fellow artists.
