Biography: Artist Peter Suprean.

I was born in Houston, Texas, the day after Christmas in 1982, to complete a family of four. Before college, I received most of my schooling from home, bing taught by my parents or in small private schools. This slight removal from society, I believe, gave me a unique perspective on my surroundings; studying the way things happen. I believe this shows in my art, being able to effectively represent an idea or feeling but to also translate it into a visual metaphor that is stimulating to the senses without an overbearing biase on its interpretation.


I studied art at H.B.U. with a focus in painting, under the late Virgil Grotfeldt. In 2011, I graduated cum laude, completing my BFA. After school, I have slightly changed my focus in art from painting to a more mixed medium approach. I wish to carry my ideas across different planes of construction, combining elements of audio (music), visual (painting/video), and the tactile (sculpture), I intend to create an alternate reality for th perceiver to enjoy and be enlightened by.


My latest work, entitled Loss Optimism is a mixed medium installation that displays relics and artifacts from a culture and time that has not yet existed. This exhibition will be held at Cueto James Gallery in Houston, as part of a two month solo show. The show will include life sized human replicas, tools, weapons, art and religious artifacts from this conceived culture's daily life. In constructing this world, I wish to create a springboard for the viewer's imagination, and transport them to a reality fashioned by both viewer and artist.
