SUMMARY:Masterclass Lecture with Peter Waite
DESCRIPTION:“Making The Known Unknown”\, Presented by Peter Waite\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSaturday\, Apr. 25\, 2026\n1 PM\nFive Points Arts Center\nFree and open to the public \n\nFollowing his successful solo exhibition\, Social Memory: Paintings 1987 – 2025 at the Wadsworth Atheneum\, Peter Waite will discuss his work and career. \nAbout the Artist: \nA New England native\, long-time resident of central Connecticut\, and a 1972 alumnus of the Hartford Art School\, Waite has remained an active member of the contemporary art scene in the Hartford region for more than 40 years. \nDuring this time\, Peter has made large-scale paintings that document his travels — real visits to real places — to sites of the built environment that embody public sentiment or ideological concerns. His interest lies in the intersection of personal and social memory. He has intentionally omitted the figure from the representation to emphasize the viewer’s participation as witness to the moment of perceiving\, then remembering\, these architectural spaces. In his studio\, he works in acrylic on rigid panels and uses an equal combination of photographs\, memory\, and sketches done on location to complete the painting. Typically\, the scale of his paintings is large and can range from 4 feet x 6 feet to 8 feet x 12 feet. His goal has always been to make the known\, unknown\, and the ordinary\, extraordinary. \nArtist’s website:\nhttps://www.peterwaite.com/
