Peter Joyce


Peter Joyce is a contemporary English painter.

Artistic style and practice

Lapada describes Joyce's work as being 'intimately related to the man-altered landscape of La Vendée'. Joyce says that his work 'could be described as abstracted from landscape.'
Joyce paints using acrylic paint on canvases of varying sizes and uses brushes, knives and other tools to achieve the scraped, rubbed and scratched effects of his paintings. Wall Street International has said that Joyce's methods create 'complicated yet enchanting surfaces.'
