9 April – 2 June 2011
Peter Brown is well known for his street scenes of Bath, and has
been painting and exhibiting very successfully at the Victoria
Art Gallery for the last twelve years. This is the first time
that Peter has exhibited in the large gallery, and includes
pastels and drawings, as well as his recognizable oil
paintings. All work is for sale and a printed catalogue
is available.

There is nothing pretentious about his pictures. Fine
Georgian buildings can be intimidating if you are not used to them,
but Peter manages to make them accessible, everyday almost, and he
does this by viewing them in the context of the humdrum world of
shopping bags, scaffolds, bus stops, bicycles and lamp-posts.
All works in the exhibition are for sale. For a complete
catalogue with prices, click the links on the left side of the
page.
This exhibition is sponsored by Messums Fine Art Gallery in
London.
