Peter Brown: Bristol

FOR ADVANCE INFORMATION AND ONLINE ACCESS

PREVIEW PARTY & ARTIST TALK: Thursday 1 May, 6-8pm  RSVP
with music supplied by Lost Wax Records

 

Peter Brown is an all-weather painter of street scenes and city landscapes. Known for working directly from his subject, he is affectionately known as ‘Pete the Street’.

Peter is often associated with Bath, the city that inspired him to revisit figurative painting after his explorations into abstraction which took him from art school in Manchester in the late eighties up until 1992.  While he has lived and painted for most of his adult life in Bath, his work takes him to countless locations across the UK and around the world.

“I work entirely from life using the cities and the countryside as my subjects. I start with what tickles me, and this is likely to be a certain play of the light, weather, space and everyday life. Most of my drawings and paintings take several sittings over consecutive days and in that time, I may meet police officers, dog walkers, road sweepers, residents and tourists.”

Peter is drawn to a crowd. And whilst he doesn’t consider himself to be a portrait artist, he loves to capture people going about their business – from the hustle and bustle of city life to families crowded onto a sunny beach.
