Peter Carr

ARTIST STATEMENT:ARTIST STATEMENT:

Peter Carr, has been making art his entire life. Born in Hawai’i and raised in Carmel, CA he moved to Los Angeles in 1981 to attend college at Ucla. After college he took the professional corporate route but art has always been a critical aspect of his life. He never thought seriously about approaching the art world until recently. In 2013 Peter went through several life changing surgeries. Up to that point, aside from love and family, surfing and art had been the center point of his physical, spiritual and personal life. Due to the surgeries he could no longer surf but he could dream and think of it and find a way to illustrate the very core of his surfing soul through his art. After the most trying moments of his medical recovery his art style and technique changed almost overnight, as though he was a completely different artist. His art has organically evolved from that experience to where he is today.

At the end of 2017, he left his corporate job to pursue his passion for art, full time. His youth in Hawai’i and experience of the 70’s art and post-hippy surfing renaissance in Carmel coupled with the go-go surf punk rock 80’s in Los Angeles have profoundly informed his aesthetic. Peter favo...
