Internationally renowned artist Peter Ceredig Evans is set to unveil his latest exhibition No Foreign Lands at Dust Temple in Currumbin from Saturday April 21. The entire body of work has been created in the last 12 months since Peter moved to the sunny Gold Coast and depicts dreamlike moments captured from various places Peter has traveled to however the location of the subjects holds little significance to the work. It is the humanistic narratives that are celebrated, in sometimes ghostlike manners, alluding the viewer to question the reality of the subject yet at the same time creating the opportunity to connect with the work. The idea is that no lands are foreign to someone.

Peter’s paintings carry a strangely welcoming combination of intensity and serenity, whilst offering the emotive human responses often found in abstract expressionism. His brushstrokes are intrinsically expressive, honouring the feeling and emotion of the subject, that are often suggestively depicted to portray a dreamlike narrative.
