Box Assemblages Born in Montreal, Canada, Peter Riedel has been a professional photographer for nearly 12 years. In 1997, Peter began cultivating an eclectic and unique art form known as Box Assemblages. Inspired by the surrealist artist Joseph Cornell, Peter's three-dimensional box assemblages invite the viewers to an up close and personal art experience.
From junkyards to backyards, raw materials are gathered, sorted, and finally, married inside the box assemblages, making them at once familiar and strange and open to the viewers' own interpretations. In constructing the three-dimensional collages, Peter combines familiar everyday objects in a way to re-see them in unfamiliar associations in order to change their interpretation.
The box art encourages the audience to interpret and ponder with no right or wrong analysis. The elements are enclosed within a framework and are organized within their spatial context drawing the viewer in, allowing them to appreciate the tiniest details easily overlooked at a glance. Compositionally, the art boxes read from the inside outward as well as the outside inward.
Peter draws his inspiration from all parts of life. His artistic gift truly lies in his ability to see art in the most unexpected places and then create in such a away to make it accessible to all.
