NEW YORK, NY.- James Cohan Gallery will present Continuum, an installation of three solo exhibitions by emerging artists Peter Matthews, Katie Paterson, and Karen Seapker. While formally distinct, these artists’ works share an interest in the mutual investigation of time and space and in the creative challenge of translating these abstract concepts into visual forms. Continuum will open on January 7 and will run through February 5, 2011. Peter Matthews creates his time-based drawings during meditative periods of extended immersion in the ocean. Informed by physical endurance, observation, and free association, his works seek to capture the constantly changing variables of the surrounding environment. Included in this exhibition are drawings the artist created in the Pacific Ocean off the shores of Costa Rica over periods of 4, 8, 10 and 14 hours. Executed with a variety of ink pens, the drawings accumulate into overlap
