About the Artist
Peter Hussey creates large scale watercolors that focus on architectural detail. His paintings are beautifully crisp images of doorways, rooftops, cupolas, turrets, and their attendant surfaces that when handled in the different light of day, are endless in their richness and variety. His work, though not photorealist, is firmly rooted in 20th century Realism.
Peter’s paintings are meant to be pleasing to look at and at the same time intellectually stimulating. For some, they are what they are – a window, a roofline, a door ajar. For others, owing a large degree to his use of close perspective, they are thoughtful abstractions of lines and surfaces caught in the push and pull between what’s near and what’s far away. He elevates the simplicity of his subjects, but invites his viewers to reach their own conclusions.
