PETER VAN DYCK-(b. 1978) American, has studied at both Wesleyan University and the renowned Florence Academy of Art. An emerging talent, his work conveys a maturity and contemplative serenity, whether through the downward tilt of a young woman's chin or the calm of an empty room waiting for the next occupant. His paintings are beautifully rendered - elegant in their simplicity, the surfaces smooth and creamy. Steeped in the traditional techniques imparted by a strict academic background, his work represents an exciting marriage of a new voice speaking in the time-honored languageof classical painting.
