PUBLIC FEEDBACK
"Visually captivating and emotionally uplifting, John Peters' aesthetic dialogue communicates both real landscapes along with landscapes of the mind. Dedicating his practice to rendering sensate experiences using painted forms, it is as if each painting in the Jerusalem Series presents an exquisite moment of tension, referring obliquely to the historical past, whilst offering a glimpse of what is to come."
"With bold abandon, John Peters' signature Magic Realism style skillfully employs variegated imagery coupled with unbridled emotional content to create compositions that underscore his visceral feelings towards the external realm. Uniting his appreciation of the natural world with a distinct way of depicting it, John Peters' divergent interpretive realms marry textured powerful, passionate colors with defined outlined forms. In swirling brushtrokes, his paintings burst from the frame as theyevoke a sense of a fevered dream reflecting a powerful surreal fiery sky and forms, which mimic the organic and often cyclical shapes of nature. Existing as large vistas, teh various points of illumination allow him to establish unexpected and imaginative points of view and refractions. Juxtaposing his powerful subjects with delicately placed metallic and gold leaf application, Mr. Peters elevates the floral, landscape and still-life genres into a decidedly contemporary perspective, as he uses the reflective quality of his media to manipulate the dimensionality of his compositions."
