Lloyd Peter | Contemporary Artist: Artworks & Biography

Using oil paints that he applies on his canvas using a variety of tools like brushes, knives, scrapers or even credit cards, Peter works towards creating works all the while ensuring that the original colours are retained to provide greater clarity in the understanding of the subject. Combining a figurative style with rapid strokes, the painter sketches his portraits seeking to provide the viewer with a visual perception, rather than the exact transposition of an image. Inspired by the bold use of colour by Vincent Van Gogh, the singular stylistic writing developed by Ryan Hewett in the creation of his portraits or even the cognitive artistic work of Ricardo Galán Urréjola, Peter has built an original and strong pictorial identity, which extensively reinterprets the work of reproducing a subject.
