International artist Peter Walker will be exhibiting at the Granary Art Gallery at Weston Park throughout May and June 2013
Peter Walker is an international sculptor and artist currently working from his studio in Shrewsbury. His work is widely collected both nationally and internationally, and leading commentators have tipped his sculptures as having potential international significance. He combines a talent for creating unique and powerful artworks with a knowledge and dedication to re-establish the traditions of his art form, an undertaking that is bringing him much acclaim.
In addition to larger public works funded by the Arts Council England, Peter has exhibited in galleries – locally in Stafford and outside the county in cities such as London, Bath, Birmingham and Walsall. He has also been commissioned to produce large abstract equestrian sculptures for the BMW factory in Munich, Germany. These exciting and dramatic pieces will be represented in the exhibition.
He has produced a number of significant public artworks, as well as being engaged in the production of individual sculptural works, which have been labelled as ‘absorbing’ and ‘powerful’ by leading commentators. He produces works primarily in bronze and also fabricated materials such as Corten.
In addition to his sculptural work Peter also produces works of fine art, which will be on display at the free exhibition at Weston Park in Staffordshire from Saturday 27th April 2013 – Monday 1st July 2013. Some of Peter’s dynamic drawings and paintings on display in the Granary Art Gallery will show his studies of figures depicting anatomies and movement in detail. A selection f these images were used for the production of his sculpture
