Peter Millett | Gestures

Thursday, June 4 at KANEKO, Omaha

Explore decades of sculpture and experimentation in “Gestures,” a new exhibition from artist Peter Millett at KANEKO. From rusted steel works to luminous contemporary pieces, the exhibition reveals how form, light and space can speak without words.

What to expect

Gestures traces Peter Millett’s evolving approach to sculpture through shifting materials and forms: dense, rusted steel, rounded log-like forms, steel pipe pieces and more open planar works. Across those changes, the exhibition keeps returning to the relationships between shapes, the way surfaces catch and release light, and the sense of movement or presence a sculpture can hold.

Why go

For visitors interested in contemporary sculpture, Peter Millett | Gestures offers a focused look at an artist who has stayed curious across a long career while continuing to test what materials can do. KANEKO’s Omaha setting also connects the exhibition to Millett’s Raindance at The RiverFront, giving viewers a chance to think about his work both inside the gallery and in public space.
