Peter Max Lawrence

Peter Max Lawrence is a contemporary media artist working within painting, video installation, sculpture, photography and drawing. Born in Topeka; adopted soon thereafter and raised in Kansas City, Kansas, he currently lives and works in San Francisco, California.

Over the course of his life and career, he has created a large and diverse body of work, exploring a wide variety of approaches, media and themes. Lawrence’s visual art, performances and videos have been presented internationally in venues ranging from basement bathrooms to major museums. Among some recent works of note are The Battle of the Last Goodbye, a massive installation composed of thousands of paintings, videos and sculptures situated among a collaborative two-person exhibition titled AT WAR with artist and poet Truong Tran at SOMArts and was funded by the Commons Fund & Curatorial Residency.

We at Vertical Gallery have been following and collecting PML's work for many years. This is a rare opportunity to own one of his unique characters and/or his version of a current comic character. Peter is definitely an artist to watch.
