What this episode covers
Born in Philadelphia, Peggy Reavey was a student at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts. A figurative painter whose work varies in terms of scale and materials, Reavey is a narrative artist, and her work often revolves around the quiet storms of domestic life. Exploring fundamental dramas of life – fear, truth, love, the body – Reavey’s work explores a symbolic connection between the spiritual and physical worlds. It is confessional, and often portrays private things not meant to be seen. A flamboyant colorist, Reavey has a freewheeling approach to composition that lends her work a potent graphic quality: she plays with perspective in her pictures, which often incorporate patterning and text.
