John Peters Art

American, 1927-2019
Asked by musician Andrew Schulman about what he had done for a living, John responded, “A lot of things. I was a longshoreman, worked in construction, the hotel business. I’ve lived in Westbeth, one of New York’s oldest artist communities, for years. I got in there because I’m a poet, always have been, even when I worked those day jobs. … My poetry came out of an early love—a passion for storytelling, both in the giving and receiving. It brings me joy. ‘Joy’ is my favorite word.” –From Waking the Spirit: A Musician’s Journey Healing Body, Mind, and Soul by Andrew Schulman, 2016

Echo In Motion, Abstract Mixed-Media Painting on Paper by Emmi Iida
Located in Lahti, FI
“Echo in Motion” is an original abstract work on paper by Finnish multidisciplinary artist Emmi Iida, known for her emotionally charged and intuitive compositions that merge gesture, texture, and flow. This 2023 piece captures a moment of raw movement and organic tension — strokes of gray, black, and ochre interlace with fluid drips and translucent washes. The composition feels spontaneous yet deeply intentional, like a visual echo of a fleeting emotion or thought suspended in air. The exposed paper acts as negative space, giving the piece a quiet balance between chaos and stillness. Executed with acrylics and mixed media on fine art paper, “Echo in Motion” reflects Emmi Iida’s continued exploration of energy and emotion through abstraction — a meditation in motion, ideal for collectors drawn to expressive yet minimalist works on paper. About the Artist: Emmi Iida is an internationally exhibiting artist, author, musician and interior architect, working at the intersection of visual art, sound, and design. Her practice is rooted in Nordic minimalism and emotional depth, infused with a global perspective from her years living and creating across Europe and the United States. Her works have been acquired by collectors from New York to Los Angeles, Sydney to Paris, and she is currently represented by MONAT Gallery (Paris, Madrid, Innsbruck) and Van Gogh Art Gallery (Munich, Miami). Upcoming exhibitions include international art fairs and group shows in Europe and the United States in 2025. Abstract Art...
