In The Alcove Gallery at Drawing Rooms: PE Pinkman: Neither Here and There features drawings from his series, “100 Days of a Pandemic” and “Not who you see(m)”.
Edward S. Eberle (10/03/1944 – 09/26/2023), taught fundamentals of studio art and ceramics at the Philadelphia College of Art from 1972-75, and Carnegie Mellon University from 1975-1985. His inclusive mentorship style gained a large following of students. In 1985, he left teaching to pursue a full time fine art studio practice, and within a few years received acclaim for solo exhibitions across the country. Eberle’s ceramic works are celebrated in numerous private and museum collections internationally, including the: National Gallery of Australia, Smithsonian Museum of American Art, Museum of Fine Arts Boston, Nelson Atkins Museum of Art and Los Angeles County Museum of Art. Eberle’s distinctive style of drawing on ceramics extended to works on paper – many rarely seen drawings will be included in this exhibit. The show features works by former students, Graham Marks, Greg Kwiatek, James Pustorino, Denise Suska Green, Scott Vradelis, Ian Thomas who were inspired by Eberle and went on to create their own studio practice and art careers. Eberle’s process of “Throwing a Drawing” is captured in the video by his son, Jonathan Eberle.
PE Pinkman’s drawing series, “100 Days of a Pandemic” uses repetitive images of the artist to explore themes of love, loss, politics, and the passage of time. In works from “Not who you see(m),” Pinkman depicts himself in different stages of life, from his youth to his old age, utilizing these images to highlight the constantly evolving nature of both internal and external identity. His large-scale paintings layer images and shapes creating suggestive narratives based on interpersonal experiences. Through his work, Pinkman questions the nature of people’s perceptions of themselves. His artistic focus has been shaped and refined by his experience of coming out as a gay man and navigating the politics and personal experiences of the latter half of the 20th and early 21st centuries. His work reflects his responses and insights to that struggle. The AIDS epidemic and the COVID pandemic’s isolation taught him to see through tragedy, to seek where the truth may lie.
