Peter Durieux (1951)

Near le Gouet

2001 | acrylic on board | 25 × 71 cm

The glorious, rolling countryside in this painting is the stuff of dreams – literally.

The landscapes that Peter Durieux paints don’t exist as such. Although he does sketch and draw what he sees outdoors, once he starts painting, he gives his imagination free rein. If something does not fit, like an ugly part of a fence, he simply leaves it out.
