The sense of place in Peter's paintings is nearly always ambiguous. We feel it is familiar, and yet fictional. While the individuals and objects may be sourced from the artist's encounters and photographic documents, he brings them together with imagination and careful consideration. Each object, shadown, and figure is strategically placed to complete a technically brilliant painting.
