A comprehensive set of drawings and paintings by Peter Jalesh (b. 1942) can be viewed at http://www.saatchionline.com/Bmusteat and http://www.yessy.com/art/?s=zrfippaimuhh0arbf5rqvize&skw=peter+jalesh A catalog
extract regarding the artist: "Peter Jalesh's paintings, after all, remain
unmistakably traditional abstract and bound up to a manner of painting which
maintains the richness and frailty of the sentimental discourse. The
polemical-excess that became part of any new direction in contemporary painting
is present in his drawings. Also in his drawings one could see the spectacular
gesture, be it mechanical or automatism-like. They compete in beauty and
audacity with the best drawings ever created. The subtitle "abstract"
that accompanies all his exhibitions doesn't make justice to his portraits or
impressionist inspired works. Abstract endings on large canvases fit the image
of the beginning of this new millennium, when an old concept has to be renewed as
the world gets cleared out from our conventional judgment and replaced by a
new-world of renewal. Is this new beginning going to generate a new kind of art
or it would just recycle old ideas onto new canvases?"
