DescriptionPeter was a long-serving tutor University of the Arts London. Curatorial notes tell us that this piece is the result of experimentation and investigations into colour, representation of physical surface and form and its ramifications for a very particular pictorial thematic content.
This work was created using variations of a novel screen-print pointillistic colour process developed by the artist. The very nature of the print process creates a unifying surface that also appears as a timeless 'veil' over the compositions. This becomes part of the artist endeavour, augmenting the content of the compositions, with the aim to create an ambience of undefined unease between the bland normality of a carefully composed topographical scene and a deliberate and overt strangeness of unrelated juxtaposed objects.
These principal lines of enquiry were evolved during the artist's formal art education spanning the period 1981 to 1986.
