Kim Wrong Un Painting

Pete first found his artistic expression with stencils and spray cans in the early 70's. He came to London in the sweltering summer of 76, and left for India one year later on the day that Elvis died, and just before the launch of the Voyager II space probe. He then spent the best part of the the next decade as a mountain guide, trekking through the high Himalayas. Returning to London in the mid 80's, he co-founded 'The 7 Kevins', which became synonymous with the legendary warehouse parties hosted by the Mutoid Waste Company artist collective. When The 7 Kevins disbanded in '94, he turned his focus solely to his artwork, leaving behind the spray cans and developing his unique social realist style working with more traditional mediums. Pete passed away on the 23rd March 2020.
