Peter Keizer (sculptor)

Peter Keizer observes and scrutinizes the world around him. He translates what he sees in his own world.  It is as if he discects a tree, trunk or flower into a bundle of colours and feeling. Peter paints and sculpts from his personal appreciation of the studied object and gives his world a new life, a new personal dimension. He presents his world in a way such that it is difficult not be uplifted and feel cheered up.

Peter Keizer paints in a clear and direct way, using bright colours and strong shapes. His recent works show a nuanced developement. The colours used seem more complex. The background is more worked out and indeed take a more prominent place. Peter worked for a period in China durng which he acquinted himself with the richness of the Chinese culture. Of course this experience will find a place in his work.
