Adam Peck
An image that has become iconic in Peck’s artwork is the little house. This simple and symmetrical outline of a dwelling, standing alone or in an abstracted landscape, has limitless possibilities for the artist: “When I look at a house passing on the street, I don’t see the façade so much as a whole life going on there. It could be happy or sad- someone could be being born or dying. For me it represents the great mystery of something that is very integral to what we consider civilized life- a house, a habitation, a shelter. The house has a face, it has a façade, and like all things at its most reduced it is symmetrical.”
