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.

#signatureoftime – growth and decay 01
The mix of shapes, colours and textures on the forest floor is a delight to the eye and a larder for those animals and foragers that depend on it for their food. To me it is a ‘signature of time’ and a fertile place from which new life will grow.
#fingertippower – physical interaction 01
This abandoned and rusting fuse box in a parking lot caught my eye. All the fuses have been removed, rendering it redundant, stripped of its power. Even knowing this, the red wiring appears as a warning to the unwary.
#naturalforms – fluid sculpture 04
Not very scientific colour wheel and a basic triangle mix, I am not sure where this going and I am ready to make some mistakes, good ones, I hope.
#solesurvivors – exploring isolation 02
The stark form of this old tree is striking in its defiant posture, even in death it appears to be reaching for the sky in an act of defiance.
