Impressions of Calm

“Taking natural scenes as a starting point, my abstract painting aims to create the impression of calm and relaxation that water lillies and waterscape exude. Looking at the pictures should generate the same emotional response as the original subject. My interest in Oriental philosophy and spirituality is visible in my painting”

Peter Chan was born in Hong Kong and graduated from John Moores university in 2002. Since then he has had a solo exhibition at the Atkinson Gallery in 2003 and exhibited as part of the Liverpool Biennial independents in 2004. Other exhibitions and a prestigious Lever Fabergé, Lever House Art commission followed.

Peter’s work is reflective and accessible. He captures the diverse and cultural influences of his environment through a combination of floral and abstract interpretations that express very personal introspective reflections of his surroundings.
