Duchamp: I would have wanted to work, but deep down I’m enormously lazy. I like living, breathing, better than working. I don’t think that the work I’ve done can have any social importance whatsoever in the future. Therefore if you … Continue reading ?

Exhibition of Prints, Drawings and Paintings by
Peter Bright
150 Building, West Buckland School

Monday 6th June – Friday 1st July (open 0900 to 1600 Mon. to Fri.)

Old images and ideas revisited and recycled – re-executed in print and paint. A body of work based around “Beauty and the Beast” a classic tale of love, rejection and prejudice, where the beauty is the beast and the beast is the beauty. An allegory, a symbolic representation or a metaphor for my feelings towards ART.

Quotes: “Take up a radical position with Peter Bright, who is borderline anarchic in his thinking and equally bold in his art.” Andrea Charters … Continue reading ?

What is painting?

Broomhill Collection

Painting is the practice of applying paint, pigment, color or other medium to a surface. The application of the medium is commonly applied with a brush. In art, the term painting describes both the act and the result of the action. These same criteria can be used to describe printing.

Painting owned by Broomhill

I went for lunch and was really pleased to find a painting purchased by Broomhill Art Hotel off me a few years ago is still on their wall – wish I still owned it (maybe?) Below is the original Artist … Continue reading ?

Review: NORTH Devon is fast becoming a hotbed of creativity and a magnet for talented artists. Indeed one of the area’s highest profile art groups is having to replace its usual winter exhibition at Broomhill with three consecutive shows due to rapidly increasing membership. North Devon Arts’ second show consists of a lively and creative display of works ranging from the striking abstract paintings of Peter Bright and Liz Willis to the more representational landscapes and prints of Tim Saunders and Emily Garnham Wright. It includes powerful and dramatic photography by Dave Green who bases much of his work upon the theme of caves………

I collected the framed paintings and prints from the framers this week – I am really pleased with the results. I have gone for a combination of ash and black frames.

The long gallery in the 150 building at West Buckland School is exactly what it means – very, very long. I have placed the work I am exhibiting (during June) around the house and I am not convinced I have enough.

Quotes:
“Take up a radical position with Peter Bright, who is borderline anarchic in his thinking and equally bold in his art.” Andrea Charters

“I keep thinking about George Braque who learnt artificial wood graining from his time as a decorator; the story goes that he taught Picasso and these painted renderings of wood surface became a staple of cubism” John Myers

‘Beauty and the Beast’ is an exhibition of prints and paintings by Peter Bright using recycled ideas and images. Monday 6th June to Friday 1st July 2011 in The Long Gallery, 150 Building, West Buckland School, North Devon. Exhibition open 9am to 4pm Monday to Friday.

This image is a version of a lithograph I did in 1978. To download it (high resolution) click on the image. This print was manipulated using Photoshop in 2002 and exhibited in 2004. The original lithograph, which is framed and signed is for sale at £85.00. If you want to buy it contact me.
If you download it, print it off and then mail it to me I will sign it and return it if you send me the postage costs.
Background info: 1978: I once had a girlfriend called Anne who wore ‘Charlie’ perfume. Every time we came close I sneezed.  I was allergic to her bottled smell…
During the 1980‘s I was involved with the Mail Art scene. Mail art is a worldwide cultural movement that began in the early 1960‘s and involves sending visual art (but also music, sound art, poetry, etc.) through the international postal system. Mail Art is also known as Postal Art or Correspondence Art. The term networking is often used to describe Mail Art activities, based on the principles of barter and equal one-to-one collaboration.
After a peak in popularity in the late 1980‘s and early 1990‘s, the Mail Art phenomenon has gradually migrated to the Internet, whose “social networks” were largely anticipated and predicted by the interactive processes of postal collaborations. Nevertheless, Mail Art is still practiced in the new Millennium by a loose planetary community involving thousands of mailartists from the most varied backgrounds.
Q U O T E : “The perfect conduit for This Window’s music and art was the Cassette Culture and Mail Art scenes. These networks of artists and musicians encouraged an early form of open source cooperation, with projects being shared and created. This methodology fitted in with This Window’s approach to creativity.”
