Landscape for Another continues Peter Rostovsky’s exploration of the sublime landscape tradition in painting. Drawing on diverse 19th and 20th century influences, this project posits the photograph as an inescapable variable in our attempts to picture the landscape and to share our revelatory experiences with others. The exhibition is as much about a touristic experience of nature as it is about a fundamental alienation and the attempt to resolve these tensions through the conventions of “landscape.”

To this effect, Rostovsky’s work offers an immersive vision of the landscape that is unavailable without the obtrusive device used to represent it, confronting the viewer with a simultaneous sense of the sublime and the banal.
