ARTIST INFO
About
At first glance, the paintings of Peter Jones are mere depictions of old and unloved toys. The artist, however, sees them differently: through his eyes, they are historical snapshots of their owners’ lives and, perhaps, in possession of a life of their own.
Peter, who studied Fine Art at Reading University, pays attention to the unique details of each object, from its condition to its very material – both interior and exterior – in order to capture the toy’s essence on canvas. Beneath his gaze, stuffed animals become the subject of both still-life and portrait, as he brings each item to life.
