Peter Bynum

Peter Bynum is a painter known for his light-infused paintings on glass and large-scale installations.

Based in New York’s Hudson River Valley, his work has been exhibited in Rome, Shanghai, Basel, Paris, Cologne and throughout the U.S. In 2011, the Rome Museum of Contemporary Art included his paintings in its exhibition “The Future of Contemporary Art.” In 2013, New York’s Museum of Arts & Design named him one of the most influential artists of the last half-century who works with glass, commissioning a large triptych to pair with work by James Turrell. In 2014 he was commissioned by the NY Public Library to fill its 5th Avenue windows with 17 large-scale lumenescent paintings, which were

illuminated day and night for nine months and seen by an estimated 9 million people. In 2015 he was commissioned by the Hudson Valley Center for Contemporary Art to reinterpret his work into 10 enormous canvases, each 23 ft. high x 16 ft. wide, for a series of arches on the Hudson Riverfront. His most recent installation, “Illumination of the Sacred Forms: Divine Light Mission and Sanctuary” converts a room at that museum into a sacred space with paintings, sound, and video projection.
