“Intuitively reacting to the landscape, he paints using an additive and subtractive process: dark paint is laid over a lighter ground and scraped away to reveal the layers beneath. The landscapes confront and recede from the viewer revealing a variation of distance and perspective.” - Peter Brooke

Peter Brooke

Peter Brooke has exhibited his landscape-based paintings regularly for the past fifteen years in Boston, in New York, and in many other sites throughout New England and along the East Coast. During this time the work has evolved considerably, from depictions of dark, foreboding Delaware wetlands to vaulting atmospheres gathering above the Irish coast to inventions, in the vocabulary of the Vermont hill country, in which trees appear to be forming out of thin air or dissolving out of existence.
