ABOUT THE ARTIST
An honors graduate of the Savannah College of Art and Design in 1989 as a photographer, Peter Campbell left the photographic world for the more interpretive world of a painter when he moved to Durango, Colorado, USA, in 1995. Working from sketches and small plein air studies, he re-creates a sense of place and presence through constant investigation and curiosity.
“Our brains are so adept at fooling us about what we see and comprehend. Painting and drawing realistically exposes these discrepancies through comparison and inquiry,” he says. “That is where the craft of painting teaches one to see and eventually visualize. Paint what you see becomes paint what you know. Then it becomes paint what you want. Then the act of painting is an orchestration no matter the subject. It is a transforming process that takes time and experience. For me the ability to technically make paintings that match the vision has been a big part of the process.”
