Peter Selgin is a painter whose work spans cityscapes, travel scenes, still life, and portraiture. New York recurs throughout — subway platforms, elevated trains, Grand Central, the Empire State Building — alongside scenes from Venice, the Amalfi Coast, and the Greek islands. A long-running series returns again and again to the Titanic, rendering the ship through the styles of different painters and movements: a Cubist Titanic, a Dada Titanic, a Suprematist Titanic, a Titanic after Van Gogh, after Ben Nicholson. Each version keeps the subject and changes the language around it.His paintings and illustrations have appeared in The New Yorker, The Wall Street Journal, Outside, and Gourmet.
