About the Artist
Peter McGee
I began this work at the start of 2015. The paintings constitute representations of my past, my view of the current world, and the hopes I have for the future. The works are for sale with profits being forwarded to the Pinnacle Foundation (http://www.thepinnaclefoundation.org/). Use the email address or phone on the home page to contact me.
The works are placed in several themes, though boundaries are artificial and unclear. In broad terms, paintings may directly present the world we see (land, sea, plant, from above and in front) and what might happen in those environments (fire, rain, heat, cold, day, night). In others, an idea from the environment has been abstracted to present a feeling (awe, hope, anger, despair, responsibility, intrigue, fun). Some recent (2021) works have reduced or removed extraneous material. I am painting from many years of memories.
I am aware that many amazing artists have influenced the way I see and sometimes I recognize those influences. The use of colour deliberately leads and directs ways of viewing works. Thus while these works are my own, they must be seen as a point in a much broader history of art. Every painting shown on the web site is my own, and the website documents all the work I recognize as mine.
