Aura Curtain is part of Peter Everett’s Hypnagogic series.

“The patterns and shapes in my work are often derived from visual phenomena experienced in transitional periods—between sleep and consciousness or in a meditative state,” says the artist of this series. “The work is additive in nature and favors complexity leaning towards a hyper-stimulated visual experience.”

Peter Everett’s recent work explores forms that have an immediate visual power, physicality, and sense of urgency growing from a place just out of sight.

Peter Everett was born in Utah and grew up moving around the country with his formative years spent in Cleveland, Ohio. Peter received an MFA in painting from Pratt Institute and exhibits his work nationally and internationally, including group exhibitions at the Momentary at Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art in Arkansas, the Utah Museum of Contemporary Art, LSU Museum of Art, Michigan State University, Pratt Institute, HPGRP Gallery in New York City, Orange County Center for Contemporary Art in California, Barbican Arts Group Trust in London, The Korean Cultural Center in Los Angeles, Hunter College in NYC and the Spectrum Project Space in Perth, Australia. He has had solo exhibitions at the Torrance Art Museum in Los Angeles, the Urban Institute for Contemporary Art in Grand Rapids, MI, CUAC in Salt Lake City, UT, Granary Art Center in Ephraim, UT, the Utah Museum of Contemporary Art, and Material in Salt Lake City.
