Peter is gripped by the grandeur and complexities of the earth. Born in 1947, he spent his first 10 years in the small township of Karoonda in the Mallee of South Australia and for this part, his world was one that was stark and imposing, characterized by tectonic processes laid bare, not dressed by the trappings of softer climates. Peter has always felt spiritually in tune with the landscape and strongly connected to the indigenous people and their stories. His paintings reflect this relationship. They are stripped of unnecessary accoutrements, geometrically constructed with untamed colours that are often unbelievable in their intensity, his realism verging on the naïve, giving the works an intense inner drama and individuality.
