Peter Barrett has made a long career as artist and illustrator. From the 1960s when his abstract expressionist paintings were exhibited at the Drian Galleries, London, through the many years when he received commissions from publishers for wildlife illustration, up to and including today when several original illustrations of his are on sale in a New York gallery, Peter’s work has been commissioned, exhibited and collected in Europe, UK and USA. In recent years he has been painting his own subjects in his studio near Hemyock, and has shown his work locally. This is his fourth exhibition at The Garages, Millhayes, a large, light space which started life as part of the St.Ivel factory, housing the company’s milk lorries. Peter keeps his prices low for his local exhibitions, and is free to paint what he wants. The result is a constant and delightful flow of work from the studio of this prolific, versatile and talented artist.
Okay – so I am biased.
