Artist
Statement
Originally focussing on more figurative work Peter has begun to
develop his landscapes. Scenes from Glasgow and the surrounding
landscape, Tuscan hillsides and Swiss lakeside settings feature
alongside his most recent paintings of Southern California. The
Californian seascape, bright sunlight and sandy beaches that created
simplicity of shape and colour inspired these most recent works.
Peter has a very high regard for the paintings of the American artist
Edward Hopper and it was the mystery and intrigue created by the
presence of figures in his compositions which initially attracted
him to Hopper's work. However, he now finds himself drawn more to
the drama, simplicity and timelessness of Hopper's landscapes.
Through his involvement with Scottish Ballet he renewed his interest
in figurative work and this has dominated his recent paintings.
