About This Work
Peter’s **_Blake American Trilogy_** is a lucid, three-part meditation on image-making as cultural critique, aligning Romantic intensity with contemporary American iconography. Working in a serial format, the artist orchestrates repetition and variation to create a visual argument—each panel functioning as a chapter, where shifts in tone, surface, and composition recalibrate meaning. Peter’s approach foregrounds materiality: layered passages, nuanced contrasts, and deliberate edits that read like palimpsest, inviting close viewing and sustained interpretation.

Both conceptually rigorous and visually compelling, it situates Peter within current debates on narrative, nationhood, and the power of symbols.
