PETER EATON GURNZ - PAINT
Artist: Peter Eaton Gurnz (American, contemporary)
Date: 21st century
Medium: Archival pigment print on paper
Dimensions: 57 × 43 cm
Description:
A nude figure is shown in three-quarter profile, skin slick with water that beads and streams across the body. The subject’s eyes are softly closed, the mouth slightly parted, and one hand lifts toward the chin in a gesture of introspection. Side lighting sculpts the shoulders and ribs while the pale ground keeps the focus on the luminous, wet surface of the skin. The photograph balances vulnerability and poise, transforming the body into a study of light, texture, and tone.
Artistic Context:
Gurnz often explores the sensorial intersection of human form, water, and light. Here, without intervening barriers, he uses the sheen of moisture to create a natural “veil,” heightening tactility and emotional immediacy.
