Peter Colquhoun
Currently in Residence • Painter
For the artist, painting transcends mere sight; it becomes an exploration of the unseen.
Peter Colquhoun’s body of work spans a diverse range of subjects, including urban and rural landscapes, still lifes, figures, and portraits, with a primary focus on landscapes. These works are typically executed in oil, often painted directly on-site, allowing the natural environment to shape the final outcome of the piece.
The artist views the painting process as highly time-sensitive, with the duration of work on any given piece varying widely—from just a few hours to several months, and in some cases, even years. This reflects his commitment to deeply engaging with his subjects, allowing them to evolve naturally over time.
The choice of subject involves a deep internal dialogue: for Colquhoun, the creative process is as much about discovery and intuition as it is about execution, allowing his work to resonate with authenticity and personal significance.
