The painting Pathfinder emerges from the mind of Peter Cain as a strange, fragmented entity. Created between 1992 and 1993, this work captures a moment of structural impossibility. It presents a surreal collision of automotive parts, where the front fender and headlights of a black SUV merge seamlessly with the rear third of the vehicle. The hood, front doors, and cab have vanished entirely, leaving behind a distorted silhouette that…

Peter Cain was a painter and draftsperson born in Orange, New Jersey. His artistic practice involved the meticulous execution of paintings and drawings, often focusing on surreal and aberrant versions of automobiles. His early works drew subjects from advertisements for luxury sedans, high end sports coupes, muscle cars, and rare or vintage automobiles. To create these forms, he frequently began by collaging source material to produce distorted and abbreviated versions of a vehicle's original shape, using these collages as studies for his final paintings.
In his later work, Cain shifted his focus toward Los Angeles gas stations and convenience stores. These landscapes were characterized by a lack of human presence and the erasure of logos and type from various signs. In these pieces, foliage was rendered using micro-faceted masses of green paint. His career included representation by the Matthew Marks Gallery in New York and participation in the Whitney Biennial.
The work of Peter Cain is held in several prominent public collections, including:
His exhibitions spanned various locations, including the Daniel Weinberg Gallery in Santa Monica and the Galerie Aurel Scheibler in Cologne. His paintings and drawings were featured in several exhibitions at the Matthew Marks Gallery in New York.
