Dan Pederson Solo Exhibition "Pederson" to Debut at The Walter Art Gallery

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. - EntSun -- The Walter Art Gallery is proud to present "Pederson," a solo show of artwork by local artist Dan Pederson. Pederson decided early in his life to immerse himself in the arts. He received a degree in music performance playing the bassoon, and while he was at Chapman University, he also began studying the visual arts. After college, Pederson felt he had lost his unique voice as an artist and took a two-decade break to dedicate himself to exploring the world and his place in it. This time of discovery led him back to art, and his discoveries resulted in artworks that are uniquely and recognizably his.

Because of this history, personal voice is the essence of Pederson's art. His mixed media artworks are created with intense immediacy reflecting the present moment in the artist's mind and emotional state. Pederson takes his daily experiences, distractions, and perceptions, and in what the artist calls "a messy state of euphoria," converts them into color, line, texture and words. Working outdoors in natural light, the resulting compositions are filled with movement, spontaneity, and complex layers. Pederson's work has a graphic, urban feel, as well as the playfulness of certain types of animation.  His work has been shown widely in the Western United States.
