About the artist:
Peter Nixon was born in Lytham St. Annes in the county of Lancashire, England in 1956. As a child, Peter was always artistic. He began drawing when he was 5 years old and went to a museum for the first time when he was 9 (The Royal Academy of Art in London) where he experienced Leonardo’s “Virgin and St. Anne” and “Virgin and Child.” These drawings had a profound effect on Peter’s artistic development.
At 17, Peter took a foundation course at Blackpool College of Art and Design, sharpening his interest in the human figure. His drawing skills improved with the help of multiple draughtsman tutors and the college helped him transform his interest into a passion. He completed his artistic education at Bath Academy of Art, discovering that his work had been lacking movement and energy thus far – uncovered while auditing dance courses and studying the figures and poses of the dancers.
Inspirations like these have helped the artist develop his style. Most recently, Peter has looked back on the first time he saw Leonardo’s drawings and was inspired to recreate a style based on his “sfumato” or smoky composition. His lines became softer and murkier, lost in the haze. This style builds on a fleeting sense of chronology, modeled after the “carta una” or first sheet of the Renaissance masters sketching in preparation of their frescos.
Earlier in his career, Peter spent time working for an etcher. Incredibly interested in texture, he wanted to translate this idea to his painting. He traveled to Venice, examining Titian, Veronese, and Bellini. The textures and costumes of each canvas were very ornate to him, translating into his appreciation for the achievements of civilization and the production of mankind.
Peter claims inspiration from almost everything, especially music. If he wasn’t an artist, he declared he’d like to be a jazz pianist. “Everything goes into the soup,” he says. The dynamism and movement of the human figure is something he tries to portray. He explains that humans don’t sit still and he’s trying to capture that energy in his work. He draws inspiration from the Renaissance master paintings in Venice, dance troupes, poetry, music, and gardens. He’s particularly inspired by Picasso, Titian, Bellini, and Veronese, as well as Matisse.
