Peter Sharp

Peter Sharp is an artist interested in the machinations of nature and how the natural world fits together. He works in a variety of media but primarily painting and drawing. He starts with drawing then dismantles and abstracts the subject to re present it in a transformative way. His work is included in numerous public collections including the National Gallery of Australia.

'As an artist I am interested in the natural world and how it fits together, its order and disorder. I also enjoy working with other creative people, as collaboration will always change the look and intent of the work.

I was very much moved by the personalities and the human aspect of life in the laboratory. These are highly creative yet cloistered people that spend their days dealing with a language and facts we cannot see or understand.'

Exhibited at Griffin Gallery in Insight Radical in August 2013.
