Artist Robert Peterson Debuts The Joyous, Loving, And Balanced Family Life In New Solo Exhibition At Claire Oliver Gallery

Harlem World Magazine
Claire Oliver Gallery in Central Harlem, NY, is pleased to announce When You See Them, You See Me, the debut solo exhibition by artist Robert Peterson. Featuring 13 life-scale oil on canvas figurative paintings, Peterson aims to capture time through his art, highlighting Black family life as joyous, loving, and balanced. So often Black men and women are unfairly stereotyped, and fractured family dynamics are what the media and popular culture choose to highlight.
Peterson looks at his work as an opportunity to flip the narrative and shed light on the strength, resilience, and gentleness of the Black community that is hardly ever showcased.
