Known for his opulent taxidermy sculptures, Portland-based artist Peter Gronquist has a solo show coming up at New York’s ArtNowNY on June 6 titled “One in a Million.” A new collection of taxidermy sculptures and paintings, Gronquist’s work questions materialistic values in a recession-era America. Bombastic in their own right, the sculptures transform weaponry and animal heads into delicate, albeit ironic monuments to beauty and excess. Get a first look at Gronquist’s new work and a peek into his studio below and see the exhibition on view June 6 – July 6.
