Peter Sparling Works on Paper October 3 - 26 - September 26, 2025
Sparling's fifth solo show at 22 North features recent large acrylic paintings on paper and continues his exploration of the human figure in motion. The works move freely between abstract networks or kinetic tracings to more figurative pictures of the dancing body. As a dancer/choreographer and video artist, Sparling brings to his interdisciplinary painting practice an eye for both the visceral and visual. His use of video projections of his body in motion to guide his brush results in a looping process of improvisational "strokes" and a charged impression of a living presence.

About Us
The Founded in 2015, 22 North Gallery is an independent contemporary art space in downtown Ypsilanti, Michigan. We present thought-provoking exhibitions that often explore challenging social, political, and environmental themes—work you might not want over your dining table but that urgently needs to be seen. With an intentionally low commission and no exhibition fees, we create accessible opportunities for emerging and established artists to share their ideas. The gallery also supports student shows and community collaborations, emphasizing experimentation, education, and cultural dialogue over commercial gain.
