Biography
Peter Kirkland lives and works in Hamilton and is represented by Crescent Hill Gallery, Carnegie Gallery and Crown and Press Gallery. Peter treats painting as a form of excavation. His subdued colour palettes and layered gestures create a visual tension between appearance and disappearance. The surface of his work – scraped, sanded and reworked – functions as a kind of palimpsest, with each painting becoming a trace of time passing and decisions made.
