K2 Landscape by Peter Sutherland

Artist, Peter Sutherland collaborates with K2 on its Landscape Collection, a premier freeride collection that is purpose engineered to push the envelope of exploration across new terrain and on bigger lines. This collection harnesses the feeling of freedom and excitement that comes from the unknown, similar to Sutherlands art, which lies at the intersection of the human experience and the exploration of nature.

Sutherland describes his work as “autobiographical” often brimming with natural scenes of Colorado, punctuated by hiking and camping. His work has been exhibited in institutions and galleries worldwide, including the Contemporary Art Museum, St Louis; Galerie Rodolphe Janssen, Brussels; White Cube, London; Zabludowicz Collection, London. Twenty years in New York City called upon Sutherland to return to his native state of Colorado. His work often highlights this juxtaposition between cities, and man-made infrastructure and the natural landscapes teeming across the West.

“Peter is an uncompromising documentarian. He doesn’t miss an opportunity to capture memories. His works aren’t like Cartier-Bresson’s pictures, or images of distress, but things he wants to remember, however mundane or ordinary. He sees things that I will never see, and that is his gift.” ― from Maia Ruth Lee’s foreword, Peter Sutherland’s spouse.
