Artist BIO

Victor Pedelty Biography. Victor is a contemporary artist who is interested in exploring the process of creating abstraction. This process is completely intuitive and random. He starts a painting with no idea of what the end

result will be and allows the momentum of creative energy to complete the picture. In trusting this exploration, he gives the work room to go in any and every direction, while building and destroying any sense of meaning. The themes throughout his work are the construction and destruction of environmental and emotional landscapes. It's the impression of ideas, places, memories half realized and then changed, altered, forgotten or destroyed completely. The work gives the viewer something of an idea or feeling and then subverts with a random and overwhelming energy and passion. This energy often evokes the feelings of love and anger. It's the result of subconscious abandonment that the artist unleashes on the work without restraint. This can be confusing and challenging for the viewer, but can also be exalting and revelatory for those who allow themselves to feel the experience. Victor uses whatever tools available in the moment to create this work, including acrylic and ink, wax stick, chalk, crayon, paper, cardboard, tape, photographs and creates on a multitude of surfaces. Also uses various methods of applying resources with palette knives, brushes, and sometime even uses his own hands as tools for painting.

Over the past twenty five years Victor has had many shows in galleries, art fairs and exhibitions in his studio. He has sold works of art to people throughout the world and continues to grow the scope of his audience. With almost no formal training he has built a huge body of work that is unmistakably unique and original.

Victor has been involved in art scenes in Boston and Miami and currently lives and works in Minneapolis
