Artist Brandt Peters launches his new artbook "VIXEN" at AFANYC Art Gallery with an exhibition (opening February 12th) and a book signing (Valentine's Day, February 14th / 4-6 PM). Shown here are a smattering of teasers, with a eye-pleasing selection of more on his Instagram @brandtpeters (Tagged #brandtpetersvixen).

PARTIAL PRESS: "VIXEN is Brandt Peters’ contemporary re-interpretation of the classic pin-up art. Super heroes and alien school girls, crime bosses, and girl gangs: these characters embody a new female attitude. The empowered, independent, and brave antiheroes are still very much misfits in Peters’ classic brand. They take up the good fight alongside the deviant rascals and scalawags of his universe.

Peters’ larger than life femme fatales bravely stomp and strut the line between light and dark, and transcend any antiquated notions behind the interpretation of the female form. The collection of new work was created as life-scale, with most pieces hovering between five and six feet tall." (afanyc.com)

SHING: "What work can we expect to discover in Vixen? Will you mostly be drawing and painting, or will we get to see some of your sculptural works as well?"

BRANDT PETERS: "There are 17 pieces in total, with most of the work is in a 24” x 72” format. The work is all on linen. The style is actually more of a “painting style”, but with inks and acrylics over my drawings. I have a surprise up my sleeve for a sculptural component, but if it happens, it will be happening at the last second. I would rather keep it a secret, just in case!"
