In 1974, at the age of 23, Pheoris West was the youngest artist to have had a solo show at the Studio Museum in Harlem. I was so taken by his art that I visited his studio at Yale where he was studying for his MFA. The figurative works I saw then were vibrant, exciting, full of motion, color and life. In the years since, I have exhibited Pheoris’ work many times and have had the pleasure of watching his dynamic progression as an artist, as he blended the modern and traditional, the figurative and the abstract. His recent collection of collages is something entirely new and exhilarating, and I am delighted that he has chosen to show them at Peg Alston Fine Arts. Pheoris has received numerous awards and recognition of his art, and his works are included in the collections of the Philadelphia Museum of Art, the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, the Museo Civico D’ arts Contemporaneo Di Gibilina, Italy, and many other prestigious institutions. Pheoris serves on the National Endowment of the Arts Expansion Arts Panel and the Ohio Arts Council. Currently, Pheoris is on sabbatical from Ohio State University College of the Arts, where he has been an associate professor since 1976, and is working on a series of four commissions for the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill.
