Peter Knapp explores themes of continuity and the human connection to nature through textural, mixed-media works. On gesso-primed panels, he employs a hybrid process driven by imagination and instinct, integrating the graphic precision of woodblocks and drawing with the fluid layering of acrylic and ink. Central to his practice is the concept of "existential grit"—a rhythmic cycle of additive and subtractive marks that leaves the history of the work’s making visible on the surface. Knapp’s compositions often feature architectural and urban motifs woven into organic, ruptured textures, representing human inventiveness and its relationship with natural rhythms. This approach encourages viewers to find significance in the overlooked details of our environment, bridging the constructed world and the raw elements of the landscape.

Untitled: Yellow, Green and Black Lithograph
By Marjorie S. Kubach
Located in New York, NY
Marjorie Shaw Kubach (American), "Untitled: Yellow, Green & Black Lithograph, Abstract Lithograph signed in Pencil, 26 x 19, Late 20th Century Colors: Yellow, Green, Black Allen Kubach and Marjorie Shaw Kubach were two married artists who explored their artistic styles together throughout their careers. The artists showed their works largely throughout New Jersey and New York, sometimes joining together for the same exhibits. The works that Detour Gallery has acquired are representative of the pair’s time in which they explored abstraction. These works were made in a postwar era, following the art world’s shifted focus on New York as the center for new modern art. Art at this time was evolving, and the experimentation of abstract expressionism, geometric abstraction, and minimalism evidently paved the path for later artists such as Allen and Marjorie. As noted in the New York Times by Vivian Reynor, Allen Kubach “specializes in strong colors, expressing them in vertical and diagonal grids laid one on top of another.” In such a manner, Allan reflects these contemporary ideals that were taking New York by storm in the 1960’s and 70’s. The linear focus and non objective use of color found in Allen’s work correlates to that of the pioneers of abstract and minimalistic work such as Sol Le Witt...
