Peter Haslam – Fox continues to rejuvenate the medium of watercolour, creating paintings that depend as much on the raw paper as paint for their description.

 

The work reflects a clarity of style and a concentration of technique that the artist finds fascinating in much of Chinese painting and calligraphy. These paintings draw more on the simplicity of Eastern traditions in ink than the more fastidious Western works on paper, though through the use of colour and scale try to merge the two worlds.
