Peter Kingston's landscapes capture the charm and texture of life on the Australian coastline. Never straying too far from the cities he knows best, he creates tiny universes within his work, treating each as an opportunity for visual storytelling. Witty, recognisable and infinitely delightful, Kingston is driven by a deep and genuine adoration for the places and people he depicts.
He has exhibited nationally and internationally since 1978 and is represented in most major national collections, as well as public and private international collections. In 2004, he was the subject of a monograph entitled Harbour Lights: the art of Peter Kingston. Recognisably Kingston, Melbourne Diary I distils a city and a coast in six snapshots. Whether you're draw to Flinders Street or Portsea, there's a sight for you.
