Description
Petker’s alluring style has been referred to as “romantic street painting” and “renaissance graffiti”. Subject matter often revolves around women, from ex-lovers to iconic television actors to dreamt up muses, rendered in subtle pose, though shockingly accented with vibrant colors set in dream-like environments. His work is informed by his years spent as a graffiti artist and tagger in California and Europe, as well as a love and understanding for classical composition and technique. Petker’s paintings are often executed on second hand canvases found in garage sales or thrift stores – adding an unidentified and often mysterious back-story to many of his works. - lagataaranya.blogspot.comThe Shooting Gallery
