'Love Every Day', 2022
Some of his paintings depict busy streets and quiet alleyways whilst others are set
against a striking coloured background; each one, a fascinating narrative of life
today. They are all stories of our time, of people going about their everyday lives,
technology in hand.
Peter says, “I like my compositions to feel technically beautiful - there is an intentional dichotomy between my technology-centric images and my
traditional painting process.”
'Late Night Screening', 2022
Peter’s work is held in both private and public art collections and, in 2020, he was part
of the John Moores Painting Prize, a prestigious biennial award that showcases the
best in contemporary British painting. He is a founding member of the Contemporary
British Portrait Painters (CBPP) and an elected member of the Manchester Academy
of Fine Arts (MAFA).
