CT-based painter Peter Konsterlie explores notions of trauma and loss through paintings and drawings that comprise his ongoing body of work, “American Medical Series.” The works in this exhibition are a reaction to a loved one’s medical treatment and illness. In these paintings, Konsterlie explores different techniques of mark making, ranging from the spontaneous, visible in his gestural strokes and drips, to the controlled, seen in areas of intricate linework. Juxtaposing the technical precision used in anatomical drawing with the emotional content of color, Konsterlie’s work hovers in between the clinical and the fantastic.
