Peter Hogarth
County Durham
Specialising in animal portraiture, and with over forty years' experience, Peter's work is immediately recognisable. What sets the work apart is Peter's unique ability to capture the very essence of each subject, an emotive representation which transcends a physical likeness.
Working closely with the client and drawing upon a broad range of client-supplied photographs, Peter meticulously extracts and amalgamates key features and fine details to ensure both a physical and spiritual recognition; an emotional connection had between owner and animal recreated on paper.
In order to ensure longevity and vibrancy of his paintings, Peter works in soft pastels onto archival quality paper. The result is a collection of timeless pieces that not only capture the physicality of the animals but also convey their individual personalities and characters.
