  • An artist and critic's life partnership explored in a Chicago exhibition.
    Review of Lorraine Peltz: This Must Be The Place at the EPAC
    by Gabriela Iacovano in Urban Glass

    urbanglass.org/glass/detail/lorraine-pe…

    "Influenced by the pattern and decoration artists of the 1970s as well as the iconography of pop culture and advertising, Peltz’s paintings feature bright colors and a controlled, deliberate use of symbols. Flowers, for example, have always figured largely in her work, a choice inspired by the flower’s potential for metaphor as well as its history in art, from the still-life paintings of 17th-century Dutch women to the flower power movement of Peltz’s early childhood. Chandeliers also recur in the exhibition, drawn from Peltz’s early memories of a chandelier in her home. Other symbols of femininity and domesticity abound; “Time Out”, for example, features an X-shaped array of household objects, while “Kiss and Tell” sees two teacups perched beneath a playful cloud of flowers and lipstick marks. Perhaps the most poignant use of familiar images is found in “And It Was All Yellow”, one of Peltz’s most recent paintings. Yood brought Peltz a bouquet of yellow tulips the day of his passing, and they appear here amid an exuberant canvas of neon daisies, swirls and paint droplets. In her essay on the exhibition, Lisa Wainwright writes, “Here lies a symbolic cosmology of a life well-lived, but one inflected by the ever-present specter of its fleetingness.” "

  • This Must Be the Place - Visual Art Source, (VAS) Editor's Roundtable
    Column by Robin Dluzen
    Critic Robin Dluzen writes about Lorraine Peltz:This Must Be the Place- In Memory of James Yood at the Ed Paschke Art Center, Chicago.

    www.visualartsource.com/index.php?page=…

    "Throughout her practice, as is evidenced in "The Must Be the Place," Peltz has illustrated the highs and lows of experience within the framework of the decorative. During the past ten years chandeliers have been her subject matter of choice. During her talk, Peltz answered an audience query about the origins of this prevalent imagery, which again had deep roots in the artist's biography. Peltz' mother, an immigrant and holocaust survivor, took great pains bringing to her new home the character of the home she left behind. Upon her mother's death, Peltz looked at the chandelier of her childhood home with new eyes, recognizing that it quite literally "illuminated [her] family life." In "Home" (2010) the chandelier is stenciled in black paint upon a vibrant white, pink and blue striped ground. This fixture seems to absorb light, rather than emanate it, and with drips running down the canvas, it feels as though it's slipping away."
