Peter Brown, Frosty morning, the Allotments,
Bath Abbey view
Peter Brown, Laura Place, autumn
5 April – 8 June 2008
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 ten years.
His new collection of paintings shows that he has lost none
of his integrity and passion over the decade. It is refreshing to
see him alternating streetscapes with views of the British seaside
– a relatively new departure, but also a logical one in that these
are of course places where crowds of people congregate, and Peter
is a very sociable painter.
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 work is for sale and a printed catalogue
is available.
