"Player" directs the audience into seven theater sets by Peregrine Honig. Each 6x9 foot oil painting presents life size characters in pigment layered backgrounds waiting for their light. Staring out from the woods, swinging from the moon, hanging by their ankle, the viewer is invited into and out of the dark. The characters and audience are players being played.
Peregrine Honig began the series "Player" in 2021 after receiving The Studios Inc Studio Exchange, a competitive residency curating mid-career artists into accessible downtown production spaces. Studios Inc is programmed by curators and collectors and includes a five week public solo exhibition.
