Peter Jarvis is a multitalented artist who takes inspiration from his ever changing surroundings to produce works of vibrancy and diversity. Recently, Costa Rica has been the source for inspiration where he paints rural landscapes with a refined yet casual brush stroke. His painting process is an intricate one, with all elements taken into consideration. His paintings are regularly executed in a natural environment where he uses all that surrounds him from the physical to other elements such as sounds, lights and smells.
His other body of work, in a multi-media style of painting is so intriguing on the eye and stimulating to the mind that we attempt to pull apart the techniques and textures embedded as we scan the surface. The series of work named “Portal Patterns” depicts the artist’s impression of “portals” or “moments” when energy transforms into matter. They resonate Jarvis’s experience in digital studios where animation and photography were platforms for which he could exhume the impulses given from flashing images.
Peter Jarvis graduated from the University of Creative Arts, Farnham in 1995, where he then went on to Toronto, Canada for ten years, carrying with him a succession of animated short films which were viewed globally. In 2003 the rainforest of Costa Rica then became his home for four years where he developed his passion for nature and his medium turned to painting and sculpture. Jarvis has now returned to England and looks forward to successfully developing his future body of works.
The Colomb Art Gallery is now showing a number of original pieces by Peter Jarvis; please contact the gallery for more information.
