2013-02-27 14:54:04 - NEW YORK, NY – Chelsea’s Agora Gallery will feature the original work of Merewether artist Peter F. Carr in Sensorial Perspectives

Peter F. Carr’s petite sized oil on board paintings render the physical and psychic terrain of the classic nature/culture divide. “There is optimism where mankind and nature meet,” says the artist, whose impressionistic landscapes refer to photographs, studio sketches and the liminal space of memory charged in time and space. Interested in the partnership of drawing and painting, these works marry soft focus Impressionism with elements of Realism and occasionally make oblique references to Pointillism. Carr pursues a meditative practice that allows him to connect strongly to his subject, with striking visual consequences. His approach is rigorously honest, exploring the full range of moods and conveying both the power and the delicate variations in atmosphere with which he is familiar,

allowing his audience to experience the world through his eyes and with an element of his own emotional involvement. The result is aesthetically appealing and wonderfully immersive.

Peter F. Carr was born in Australia and currently works in a studio in the city of Newcastle.
