Peter Cain (artist)

Peter Cain (1959 in Orange, New Jersey – January 5, 1997 in New York, New York) was an player who is best known for his meticulously executed paintings and drawings of surreal and aberrant versions of automobiles. His style has been said to tote up aspects of Surrealism, Photorealism, and the art of James Rosenquist. He is of the thesame generation of painters who came to emphasis in the 1990s such as Elizabeth Peyton, John Currin, Peter Doig, and Karen Kilimnik. He died at age thirty seven of a cerebral hemorrhage having completed sixty-three paintings greater than the course of his brusque career. He was represented by the Matthew Marks Gallery in New York during his lifetime.
