“PEDESTRIAN”

Art by Dan Pederson

Dan Pederson's new show "Pedestrian" is anything but. Every nook and cranny of every piece he creates is unique and imaginative. A love for music led to a love of all things artful for Pederson. In Los Angeles, while pursuing a degree in music performance on the bassoon, he explored the city's excellent, multi-faceted cultural treasures in art, dance, and music. Eventually, fine art painting and assemblage became his primary mediums of artistic expression. Pederson's artworks are inspired by his daily life, which he says is very much like most people's lives, and from which he creates a visual narrative. He says, "I approach my work with an idea, a word, or an image -- sometimes from weeks before. It could be a sock, a duck, or just a pattern. Then, the process of painting or building may change the narrative completely." Each piece is entirely unique and completely captivating. The choice of colors and compositions make for overall cohesive pieces in a style that is uniquely Pederson. You don't want to miss it.

Join us for the opening of "Pedestrian" on November 15 from 6:30 to 9pm. You can also visit us during gallery hours (Tuesday 11-1pm, Thursday noon-2pm), by appointment (email us at gallery@thewalterhive.org).
