Pete Watts was born in 1984 in Vermont. In 2006 he received a BFA in Printmaking from the Rhode Island School of Design and he still lives in New York at present.
Watts’s work explores man’s relationship with the natural world by depicting technological systems essential to us, as well as the temporal, elemental and entropic forces that pose a constant threat. Rendered in painstaking detail and unframed, the works themselves express a sense of vulnerability not unlike to the fragile equilibrium that sustains human life on the planet.
