Born in Lytham St.Annes Lancashire in
1956, Peter Nixon's direction in a career art was first realized as
early as the age of four.
At nine years old Peter visited his first museum, the Royal Academy of
Art, London England.
Here he would see Di Vinci's "Virgin and Child" which would have a
profound effect on young Peters Artistic development.
At seventeen Peter was accepted into Blackpool's fine art academy where
he was schooled in the study of the human form and the discipline of
drawing that is the foundation of many of his creations today. Peter
finished out his artistic education at bath Academy of Art where he
extended his skill in graphical art.
"What I dream of is an art of balance, of purity and serenity devoid
of troubling or depressing subject matter"
Henry Matisse.
The main themes of Nixon's paintings are primarily idealized and
stylized figures in states of joy, exhilaration and ecstasy.
They share moments of tranquil elation, feeling lighter than air,
reveling in being just pure spirits - in love, dancing, listening to
music in celebration of their most vivid collective memories.
That time that we are truly alive, ecstatic, positive and living in the
moment.
His work is extremely well received by collectors the world over in all
of its forms, whether figurative, still life, or a combination of
representational and abstract elements combined.
Today he is widely exhibited in cities in the United States, Europe and
throughout the world. |
