Trained as a painter at Kent State University (1968-70), Cleveland-born Christopher Pekoc has worked extensively with mixed-media
collage since 1987. To create his works Pekoc combines photo generated imagery often fragments of body parts and menacing objects
such as thorns, spikes, and severed wings with paint, glue, shellac, and other materials. In 1992 he was one of 11 Cleveland artists
invited to participate in a poster project sponsored by the Cleveland Health Issues Task Force, Ohio's oldest aids organization.
Working from the insights of Jim Kilonsky, one of his former students who was HIV positive, Pekoc fabricated his commission using
as a central motif the hand as a symbol of creation, compassion, and healing.
Pekoc has had one-person exhibitions at the Akron Art Institute (1978), Kenyon College (1986), and the Cleveland Center for
Contemporary Art (1991), and has been awarded fellowships by the Ohio Arts Council (1990, 1994). He lives in Cleveland, teaching
painting at Case Western Reserve University. A.W.
