Artists Peter deLory and Richard Morhous have collaborated
to produce a new series entitled "Neon Suite," which pairs architectural views in paint and pigment print. deLory's color photography and Morhous' acrylic paintings of the same scenes are paired to create bright diptychs of urban subjects. The neon subjects captured by deLory were photographed during the day, with the exception of "Noir." Morhous, inspired by these images tranforms them into night scenes with his characteristic saturated palette. The artists have neighboring studios in Seattle's Pioneer Square.

The artist says, “This particular group of works includes pieces that are paintings of simple, rather conventional houses. I was in the grocery store last month buying soup and looked up to see Andy Warhol’s “Can of Soup,” and I thought to myself, ‘how could he take a simple can of soup and describe the entire psyche of America?’ This is what I have tried to do with my art. Instead of a soup can, I use little houses, the places we live - -simple farm buildings and structures seen in our daily lives. In this way I hope to capture the essence of American life.”

Brock grew up in the farm country around Carmel, California and relocated to the Pacific Northwest after college. He received his B.F.A. from the University of California at Davis where he had the privilege of studying with painter Wayne Thiebaud.
