Form Space Tone is an exhibition of figurative and representational works from the stable of artists at the Pierre Peeters Gallery.

Central to the show is the pictured work Buoyant in the Convergence Zone by Mark Cross. Cross’ career has spanned 25 years of thought provoking realism. His beautifully painted works are largely reflective of the human condition and our relationship with the land.

Richard Boyd-Dunlop’s figures exist within an abstracted field of colour. Objects are stencilled and screen printed into the background of his works, and almost seem to reflect the figures subconscious; hidden symbols of humanity’s relationship with nature and itself.

Sean Kerrigan’s sculpture, drawing and writing are very much entangled with various facets of the human condition, and the pieces exhibited in this show are specifically relative to the human form.

Mike Morgan’s work often portrays an image of a specific social interaction such as a large dinner, a party or an exhibition opening.. By subtly including odd and unexpected imagery in amongst these events, his work questions these cultural customs and rituals, alluding to a world that is more than just that which is visually perceived.

Gareth Price juxtaposes the ordinary with the extraordinary and the real with the surreal. Spaces that are noted for their banality are broken up by strangely placed figures and creatures causing the viewer to re think their own relationship with both the familiar and the inexplicable.

Also, Pierre Peeters is on Facebook! We’ll be updating our page regularly with new works as they come into the gallery. See them first and receive our updates by clicking this link and liking our page.
