Peter Carrick

Peter Carrick’s elongated, feminine figures find themselves wrapped up in various states of affection or melancholy, poised in surreal landscapes or domestic settings. Influenced by the effects of light and composition in High Renaissance painting, and the flowing sections of Futurism, he combines deep stains of colour with contemporary imagery, such as the disco ball, to illustrate cinematic moments.

After drawing personal experiences from memory painting gives freedom to add personified objects, symbols and pareidolia to create strangely intimate works using paint and glass.
