Throughout Peter Boggs’ career, he has been captivated by the mysterious qualities of light. This exhibition explores the notion of beauty in landscape through glimpses of Italian scenes, not explicitly revealed but drawn from recollections of his experiences over the years. Peter skillfully constructs his dream-like compositions through delicate tonal layering of oil paint. Meandering passageways and roads that disappear into the shadows of trees, or lightness of sky, invite contemplation. For Peter, the beauty of a place resides in its emotional and spiritual resonance - “…it is the silent stillness that is the aim; no trace of life or movement; rather a still and silent portrayal of something beautiful.”
