As part of the City of Albany 2022 Exhibition Callout emerging Albany Artist Peter Thom will be presenting Retrospective at the Vancouver Art Centre.

New to the art industry this will be Peter’s first body of work for display.  “I started my art as a hobby a couple of years ago as a way of unwinding after work, I was not enjoying watching mainstream TV and found art and music as a way to relax. I use paint pens- predominantly primary colours and never have a plan where to start or how it’s going to end. I love my art and seeing my work evolve before my eyes as each new piece begins”.

“I am never sure what to classify my work as, I like that it feels like my own style. Initially, I got frustrated when a piece wasn’t working for me and the very early days of my journey I coined a phrase “A mistake is direction you didn’t know you were going”.  This allowed me to get over myself and enjoy the ride.

This hobby has brought me many hours of enjoyment and I hope you like it too, just remember to tilt your head at the pieces. The way it’s hung or stands may not be the right way for you”.
