All that I know

‘The front door opened half an inch and the landing light cast a narrow beam onto the sleeping figures; it was just possible to see the shape of a man by the door’

Tableaux of Dreams is a work in three parts - All in my mind, All that I know, and Journey through life. It is a highly individual and deeply personal collection of paintings, drawings and etchings. It deals with the unreliability of memory that has allowed me to ‘reimagine’ the past in a way better suited to my internal narrative. - Tableaux of Dreams - ‘All that I know’. Etching, Hand-painted, 38x28 cm unframed, printed on Saunders Waterford 300 gsm paper.

Peter Town is a born storyteller, gifted with an ability to translate both everyday quirks and deeper philosophical musing through his work. Often using strong lines, striking colours and symbolism in his pictures, Town has built a vibrant portfolio. Born in Bethnal Green, he grew up in Liverpool and was later educated at Bath Academy of Art and the Royal College of Art. Taking advantage of his ability to communicate ideas visually, he went on to enjoy a successful career as a designer while he continued to paint and develop his artistic style through drawing, painting, photography, and printmaking. While many of Town’s paintings use strong shapes and primary colours, such as the Stairscapes series, others are quieter and more contemplative, representing a more tranquil inner space. His Abstracts series features works where the narrative is more ambiguous but ever-present. He sees landscapes, interior spaces and natural forms as abstract shapes and colours, transcribing these in his unique style onto paper and canvas.
