BIO
Following initial studies at the Brooklyn Museum Art School, Peter Colquhoun moved to Italy and at first settled in Venice for 6 months. Later he painted and exhibited in various cities including a solo exhibition at the Fenice Gallery in Venice in 1985. He also taught at a small art school in Casole d’Elsa, Tuscany. After returning from Italy, cityscape became an area of interest and activity as it is to the present day in New York City, his home.
You’ll like Peter if: you like exploring both the tourist spots and hidden gems when you travel
As someone who works in oil paint across multiple genres I find myself equally at home with such subject categories as still life, landscape or the human figure. While the subjects are often recognizable, especially since I am a representational painter, the paintings themselves were never intended to be photographic transcriptions or hyper-realistic representations. My hope is that questions of about style can somehow be circumvented.
