John Peters Art

American, 1927-2019
Asked by musician Andrew Schulman about what he had done for a living, John responded, “A lot of things. I was a longshoreman, worked in construction, the hotel business. I’ve lived in Westbeth, one of New York’s oldest artist communities, for years. I got in there because I’m a poet, always have been, even when I worked those day jobs. … My poetry came out of an early love—a passion for storytelling, both in the giving and receiving. It brings me joy. ‘Joy’ is my favorite word.” –From Waking the Spirit: A Musician’s Journey Healing Body, Mind, and Soul by Andrew Schulman, 2016

'Femme Assise'. Large Mixed-media Montage on Board.

By Armand Avril

Located in Cotignac, FR

Imposing and very large scale mixed media 'assemblage' by French artist Armand Avril. The work includes the French tricolour flag colours, his symbolic cat sculptures and a highly colourful geometric image of the artist's mother sitting in a chair. The work is signed and dated to the reverse and comes with a certificate of authenticity from the gallery. This montage fully demonstrates Avril's geometric period whilst also expressing the humour and joy that he puts into all his work. A very strong sculptural image and a feast for the eyes in searching for and recognising the everyday objects used in making this piece come alive. This montage is made from wood pieces, plywood, oil paint, acrylic, bottle top and nails . The more sculpted areas of the piece stand out up to 3cm from the frame. Armand Avril was born in 1926 in Lyon. His father, Marcel Avril was a painter and collector of African art. At 16 Armand became an apprentice shepherd in Provence. Avril could always be seen equipped with a sketchbook and a book on the history of art whilst tending his flock. It was not until the age of 30, in 1956, that Armand embarked on painting as an autodidact, influenced by Raoul Dufy, Pierre Bonnard, Henri Matisse and the Lyonnaise School of Painting. He exhibited for the first time in 1957. In 1960, he left for a one-year trip to Africa. There he met the painter Jean Arène who introduced him to the village of Cotignac in the Var and to Louis Pons...
