Peter Kingston’s paintings are full of energy, of palpable life force.

Kingston’s works are enchanting, a portrayal of everyday life on the water and upon further contemplation a deeper significance is revealed. Peter Kingston’s

Peter Kingston is highly celebrated for his sensitive and evocative works portraying a lifelong connection to Sydney Harbour and deep rooted desire to preserve its character and charm. Kingston conveys with great reverence life on and around the water, from the iconic old ferries and the moon rising over the majestic Sydney Opera House to the endless colours, tones and textures observed throughout the changing seasons. “Peter is able to create a sense of spontaneity with a few deft minimalist marks drawing on his intuition to create an ever changing harbour. The apparent ease and fluidity of his images masks the difficulty of drawing from within to capitalise on the moment.” Darani Lewers, AM, 2017

passion to not only record but to protect the harbour can be felt with every brushstroke and as such his works are not only visually pleasing but deeply moving and poignant. Kingston’s current exhibition showcases the diversity of visual media he passionately explores, his characteristic enthusiasm for life and passion for his surroundings. This exhibition includes paintings, drawings and prints and is current until 18 June 2017. For more details or images contact: [email protected] australiangalleries.com.au 02 9360 5177
