Peter Simpson’s latest collection of work focuses on the majestic landscape of Australia’s east and Tasmanian coastline.
“This series of oil paintings , gouaches and monotypes explores such familiar scenes as Sydney Harbour, Botany Bay, and Malua Bay on the NSW South Coast capturing the essence of the place in a manner that is simultaneously temporally specific and timeless. Building on his previous body of work presented in the 2010 ‘Shimmer’ exhibition, Simpson’s new series of paintings are a subtle evocation of culture and spirit, embodied by the landscape.” - Artist Profile magazine, August 2012.
Peter Simpson has approached these works with a level of intimacy akin to portraiture, where the delicate strokes of his brush accentuate the stately personality of his towering and nobel subjects.
