Publications
Writting by the artist
Published for the first time in "Artistes ou lettrés de Camille Saint-Jacques et Eric Suchère," collection Beautés, éditions Lienart, Paris 2009.
“Elemental” (pub. in French) trans. by Eric Suchère
“La Memoire Fautif” (pub. in French) trans. by Eric Suchère
Though originally written in English, “La Memoire Fautif” was commissioned and published by the poet Eric Suchère for his publication LITTLE SINGLE. I wrote it during my stay at the Calder Foundation in Saché in 2004. It was a period of transition in my work and somehow that provided me with a suitable pretext to both look back at my previous work, and articulate ideas that have remained with me and given me a context for the present.

Born 1959 in Manila, Philippines. Lives and work in New York
Peter Soriano was born in Manila, Philippines. He studied Art History at Harvard and Sculpture at Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture before moving to New York in 1981 where he taught at SVA and RISD for over a decade. Soriano has shown in numerous prestigious group shows throughout Europe and the US. Previous solo shows include: Galerie Jean Fournier (Paris), Galerie Bernard Jordan (Zurich), & Lennon Weinberg Gallery (New York). In addition to numerous private collections Soriano’s work is held in many public collections including: the Frac Auvergne, Fondation Cartier and FNAC in France. Peter has received a residency grant from the Calder Foundation and was a Senior Fellow at the Terra Foundation in Giverny, France (2009).
Soriano’s exploratory use of simultaneous multiple perspectives both in his “sprays”, the installations, and his drawings, make use of: macro and micro views, birds-eye and one-point perspective, transparent and opaque information, and interior vs. exteriority to confound reasons insistence on objective truth.
I am drawn to that polarity between movement and stasis. I think I needed to rid myself of making forms to get closer to this situation between the spatial and the planar, the sculptural and the drawn, between the decision and the doubt. I am looking for a transparency between thought and space.
