The Hedgerow Prints – My creative journey 1

https://youtu.be/H5o8qzsuF5o

Hedgerows and grassy verges make perfect nesting habitats for birds, intersects and small mammals, safe, hidden and protected. It is these very qualities that sparks my interest. Whether it’s grasses, hedging, brambles or a mixture of all of them they weave a fascinating pattern with great depth and complexity while leaving enough room for life to flourish.

A suitable jumping off point for ideas to form as part of my abstract landscapes study, this print series takes the hedgerow into the world of abstraction.

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.
