Pete Flowers

My work has over the last few years has grown from an abstract exploration of the spiritual energy of the relationships of colour within painting to develop rich, multi-layered images of textured colour that explore our spiritual pathways within a culturally diverse world.

For some time my work has focused on Buddhist and Hindu imagery and writings. These works have been experimental in nature, mainly semi-figurative, with a number of text based pieces. I have for many years worked in mixed media, using collage, printmaking and painting and this fusion of materials and transferring of techniques is a prime concern in my work.

He trained in Fine Art at Manchester Polytechnic and did his post graduate degree in Fine Art Printmaking at Chelsea College of Art.
