| Paintings, mixed media, sculpture and other creative works by Victor Pytko, a post-modern artist who explores the edges of the media... and sometimes jumps off. |
"...in the absence of any single dominant school or tendency, the vast
freedom that artists today possess to shape their creations according to their
own priorities represents a newfound historical opportunity...a diverse range
of media and sensibilities (that) any one of which might have been
condemned to irrelevancy as recently as fifteen years ago.
– Dan Cameron, May 2005

New York exhibition December 2007- Sept. 2008 Invitation |
“I create the illusion of space and time by
manipulating and arranging paint, newsprint and
founds objects on canvas and board.
“The effort not only bestows new meaning and
context to the piece and its elements, but also
gives viewers reason to linger and discover the
surprises.

Artist Reception: Victor Pytko
Shows Runs June 19 - August 1, 2008
This show of more than a dozen new paintings by
artist Victor Pytko is part of a series of exhibitions at
Goldner Walsh that showcase regional artists.
Pytko's use of composition, color and occasional
inclusion of found objects, newsprint, sand, and
household materials gives new context to the media
and extends the viewer's interest beyond the subject
matter. His landscapes work very well in the Goldner
Walsh nursery setting and should delight both novice
and experienced viewers and collectors alike.
Pytko, 62, exhibits widely around Michigan and in
other states including Colorado, New York and
Virginia. Working in both realistic and abstract styles,
he has been commissioned for private and corporate
settings including the Mass Transit Authority of
Genesee County, Ernst & Young in Detroit and Tokai
Rika in Nagoya, Japan.
A native of upstate New York, Pytko has been
influenced by numerous artists including Grandma
Moses who lived nearby, mentors Boris Putterman
(Indiana University), Leslie Masters and Charles
McGee (BBAC instructors) and famed artists Edward
Hopper, Jackson Pollock, Willem de Kooning, Robert
Rauschenberg and Milton Avery. The lifelong painter
maintains studios at his home in Birmingham and at
the Pioneer Building in Detroit.
What: Artist Reception for Victor Pytko
