Park Place Gallery is pleased to present VANITAS, a solo show by Peter Schenck. This exhibition includes paintings and drawings created over the last two and half years. 

  Works in this exhibition are based on the theme of Vanitas: a symbolic work of art showing the transience of life, the futility of pleasure, and the certainty of death, mixed with the wildly colorful compositions by Peter Schenck.  Schenck’s new paintings and works on paper will feature elements of the classical still life and portraiture that poke fun at the human condition and the inward life of the studio artist. Paint brushes, palettes, skulls, leaves, pedestals, fruit, sculpture, and the artist himself all jostle for attention in Schenck’s world of gallows humor.
