Peter Joyce

Peter Joyce (born 1964) is a contemporary English painter.

Artistic style and practice

Lapada describes Joyce's work as being 'intimately related to the man-altered landscape of La Vendée'.^[1] Joyce says that his work 'could be described (if it really had to be) as abstracted from landscape.'^[2]

Joyce paints using acrylic paint on canvases of varying sizes and uses brushes, knives and other tools to achieve the scraped, rubbed and scratched effects of his paintings.^[3] Wall Street International has said that Joyce's methods create 'complicated yet enchanting surfaces.'^[4]
