ABOUT FyfeART

from the quaint city of Orillia on Lake Couchiching, to historic Kingston on Lake Ontario, abstract artist Peter Fyfe has always lived near water. 
today, his inspirational waters are nearby, just one of three short drives . . . Lake Couchiching, Lake Simcoe, and Provincial Park waters of Bass Lake.
tomorrow, Peter is just as likely to be drawing a canoe on the water as he is painting the swirls and drifts of a distant shore.

Art Statement

In my work I set about creating a harmonic whole of hard-edged, flat sweeps of bright colour, fused with elements such as the play of texture, line, and recognizable shapes and influences. My paintings are intended as optimistic statements, fueled by an internal sense of light, to conjure a sensibility of a vigourous and happy life. My current interest is to render the canoe in a unique style that combines elements of Art Nouveau, and the graphic sensibility of Aboriginal art.
