Peter Churcher

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Churcher

Nacido el 28 de Febrero de 1964, Brisbane, Australia. Considerado uno de los mejores retratistas en Australia, ha sido galardonado con numerosos premios en Australia y Europa.

Prolífica e interesante carrera pictórica, siendo comisionado artista oficial durante la guerra en el golfo Pérsico, retratista oficial de importantes personajes públicos como primeros ministros y gobernadores generales.

Actualmente vive y trabaja en Barcelona, donde encuentra su inspiración.

“The main lure of Barcelona for me, artistically, is the continuous throng of ‘human traffic’ that exists on the streets, day and night. I find this unceasing flow of human activity and ritual that plays out before my eyes inspiring and central to my work.”
