Head-cocking concepts

Axis Gallery

The only appropriate place for a neon sign in Las Vegas is deconstructed and placed in a quaint antique wheelbarrow. Perhaps not the only place, but Ronald Peetz's sculpture of glowing neon tubes in a rusty old barrow makes a striking visual argument that it should be. Peetz—a Lincoln-based artist who has shown his conceptual, head-cocking-followed-by-an-“oh!” sculptures in many Sacramento galleries over the years—consistently makes work that offers more than just eye candy, but food for thought. See what else he's serving up in his solo exhibition Objects in the Mirror at Axis Gallery during October.
