FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
"SEGUE" – NEW SHOW OF MIXED MEDIA PAINTINGS –
OPENS AT BooMA (BOOTH MUSEUM OF ART)
Victor Pytko Returns to Native State in Manhattan Debut
NEW YORK (Jan. 7, 2008) -- Segue, a solo exhibition of non-representational mixed media and
acrylic paintings by well-known Detroit artist Victor Pytko opens this month at BooMA, the art gallery
at the PR firm M Booth & Associates. The show will run through late spring.
Pytko, who was born in upstate New York but has made his artistic career in the Midwest, brings a
rich selection of mixed media and acrylic paintings that represent the artist's transition from 2003 to
2007 as he visually segues between a pre-life, life and afterlife thematic and a signature style.
BooMA (with affectionate apologies to MoMA) is one of very few art collections mounted in the halls
of New York City public relations firms.
BooMA’s rotating shows change every six months, said Margi Booth, president of M Booth &
Associates. “The gallery not only looks beautiful and creates a visual oasis for our staff and clients,
but enables us to give a boost to the careers of emerging artistic talent,” she said.
Pytko mixes cellular, cosmological, and other life form references to produce texturally rich, colorful,
and multi-formatted works. He combines text (newsprint), found objects and common builder's
materials to make sometimes subtle, sometime obvious statements on what he sees as an “eat-or-
be-eaten” foundation of life.
Pytko has had more than 50 solo and group shows since 2002, including exhibitions in Denver,
Alexandria, Va., Hoosick Falls, N.Y., and Michigan, and has been commissioned by companies such
as Ernst & Young, Toka Rica, MotorCity Casino, Flint (Mich.) Mass Transit Authority, and by private
collectors in Michigan.
M Booth & Associates is a mid-sized public relations agency that specializes in building strong brand
identities for the products, services, and ideas of leading corporations and institutions. With a staff
of 65, the agency has six practice areas – consumer products, corporate, fashion & retail,
healthcare, not-for-profit, and travel & lifestyle – and a network of 40 affiliate agencies in North
America, Europe, Asia and Latin America.
NOTE: An artist’s reception will be held at the BooMA Gallery, 300 Park Avenue South at 23rd
Street, 12th floor, on Jan. 10, 2008, from 5 - 9 p.m.
