Petzel presents new paintings by Sean Landers, merging his aspen tree carvings with North American animal portraits. His confessional writings appear as carvings on the trees, inspired by 19th-century Basque shepherds. The animals, painted with expressive eyes, seem self-aware and contemplative. Through humor and vulnerability, Landers explores impermanence, personal history, and the interconnectedness of life, art, and memory, inviting viewers into a space of quiet reflection.
