Peter Davey

Old Stories

I have seen Peter Davey recently to discuss which pictures he will show next month. I was keen to get a picture I photographed for him back in 2007 I had no idea what it was called but the image had stuck with me.  To my delight he still has the picture and interestingly Peter immediately said that this picture he believed to be head and shoulders above the others in the series of paintings he did at the time.  I find it a little dark but also very engaging. I love this little text he has sent to go with the image.

“Old Stories – Started in Munich in 1992 and finished  in my studio in Sussex in 2004, re-living moments of fraught melancholia from diaries, using techniques I was fond of long ago.”
