New York’s Museum of Art and Design commissioned a triptych to be featured with light artist James Turrell for a six-month exhibition, naming Bynum and Turrell two of the most influential artists of the last half-century who work with glass.

Playing With Fire: 50 Years of Contemporary Glass

The Rome Museum of Contemporary Art, known as MACRO, is the most important museum of contemporary art in Rome. The focus of the museum is on global trends in contemporary art and experimental projects.

The Road To The Future of Contemporary Art

This site-specific installation includes six paintings, video projections, and a soundscape of extended notes from Tibetan singing bowls. Viewers can enter “privacy booths,” draw curtains, and sit with the work.

“THESE ETHEREAL, LIGHT-INFUSED PAINTINGS bring us into an intimate relationship with the biological structure of our oneness. Working at the intersection of art and science, Bynum has invented a technique for illuminating paint’s innate ability to express the forms and rhythms of the living universe. Floating on multiple layers of glass, biomorphic forms spread, pool, and flow. We are visually swimming in the paint and the light.”

– LIVIA STRAUS, Director, Hudson Valley MOCA.

Illumination of the Sacred Forms: Divine Light Mission and Sanctuary

“PETER BYNUM OPENS NEW TERRITORY FOR PAINTING by exposing paint’s intrinsic branching behavior, and then illuminating the complex nervous system it creates. The three-dimensional, illuminated paintings on glass, with biomorphic forms swimming in light and space, are full of cosmic energy and ecstatic beauty.”

– AREZOO MOSENI, Host, “The New York Public Library’s Artist Lecture Series”

Curated by Arezoo Moseni, this solo exhibition includes 17 site-specific paintings created for the Library’s 5th Avenue windows. Illuminated 24/7 for nine months, an estimated 9 million people viewed the exhibition.

Peter Bynum: Illuminated Paint

This exhibition focused on the role of the artist in times of environmental collapse and political resistance.

Undercurrents: River As Metaphor

Manitoga, one of the National Trust’s Historic Artists’ Homes & Studios, was created by modernist design icon Russel Wright. Manitoga welcomes some 5,000 visitors a year on guided tours. Bynum is the first artist ever invited to install work in this historically important architectural masterpiece.

Ecstatic Light

The Hopper Museum presents 20th and 21st Century work by painters influenced by the work of American painter Edward Hopper.

Contemporary Abstract Painting

Selected by the Whitney Museum’s former Director David Ross in 2012, Bynum returned a year later for a solo exhibition in the main gallery.
