Peter Strobos

The 2010 Chelsea International Fine Art Competition Exhibition
August 17 - September 7, 2010 Reception: Thursday August 19, 2010 6-8 PM

Press Release

The oil paintings of Peter Strobos explore the many facets of form as they exist in a solitary instant, suspended briefly in time as one moment slips into the next. Born and raised in South Africa, he spent some time in Spain, and was influenced by the art, architecture and culture there. Currently residing in the Netherlands, Strobos works from a limited palette, using pure strong color to depict the movement and tangible space that exist within his forms. What results is a masterful capturing of the ebb and flow of spirit, of the energy that forms the basis for all life as we know it.


Artist Statement

I crave the discovery of visual ways to express my curiosities with science, nature, and the wisdom that they have to offer. I continue to explore related facets, to fully comprehend what I must depict, and assemble this journey, into the big picture. Only pure, strong color and layering can achieve a luminosity that indicates aura, life, movement and tangible space, enabling the capturing of a moment as it passes. The versatility of oil offers me a myriad of color from a limited palette, giving me the freedom to sculpt, in realistic detail, on large flexible linen and canvas surfaces.
