Peter Mcardle

McArdle is a meticulous craftsman, using traditional glazing techniques, which means a painting can take months to finish.
His work is an exploration of his own psyche, society and his ideas on art. The symbolism is arrived at intuitively and, although composed of seemingly everyday figures (or sometimes public ones) the result is a riddle that needs to be worked at. This is a deliberate suggestiveness or provocation.
