About this title

Synopsis

For several years the paintings and photographic works by Swiss artist Leta Peer have focused on the Lower Engadin landscape, the region in which she grew up. With recurrent, allegedly conventional subjects that run contrary to the fleetingness of our society, and by using the "classical" medium of painting, Peer generates artistic contributions of great intensity in today’s world.

Leta Peer has received several awards to work artistically in the United States, including the Pollock-Krasner Scholarship. Since 1994 she has continuously shown her work at international galleries, museums, and art fairs such as Photo Miami and Paris Photo.
