PHILADELPHIA, PA.-Projects Gallery is pleased to present Peter Gourfain’s solo exhibition Sculpture & Works on Paper. His works will be on view from Friday, Nov. 2 through Saturday, Dec. 29. There will be a First Friday reception for the artist on November 2 from 5 to 8 p.m. The reception is free and open to the public.

A Chicago native and graduate of the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, this New York-based artist has had an impressive number of solo and group exhibitions throughout the United States. His works are in many private and public collections, including New York’s Museum of Arts and Design, Museum of Modern Art, Guggenheim Museum and the Brooklyn Museum. Previous shows have focused either on Gourfain the sculptor or Gourfain the printmaker. Sculpture & Works on Paper will be a unique compilation showcasing all aspects of Peter Gourfain the artist. In this second solo show with Projects Gallery, the artist shares with us a rare collection of his work. Included is a new series of eight linoleum block prints inspired by the story of the German peace activist Sophie Scholl. This suite of prints is a fitting homage to the life and bravery of this incredible woman. Seldom exhibited drawings and several newly commissioned bronzes will also be displayed, alongside larger woodcarvings and additional prints. Sculpture and Works on Paper is an unprecedented opportunity to witness the breadth of Gourfain’s talent.

Projects Gallery is located at 629 N. 2nd St. in Philadelphia’s Northern Liberties section. Gallery hours are Tuesday through Thursday noon to 5 p.m. and Friday and Saturday noon to 7 p.m. A preview of the artist’s works may be viewed on the gallery’s website at www.projectsgallery.com.
