PAINTING SOUND

Painters and Musicians have always found inspiration by sharing ideas from both disciplines. Peter Has focused his attention on combining these two related art forms.

He attempts to translate the fundamental structure and rhythm of musical composition into his paintings, developing and harmonising pictorial themes as a composer would write music, weaving a complex series of signs and symbols into his art work, and constantly seeking inspiration form music, which is the most abstract art form.

The artist is frequently found sketching on the reverse side of a music program, noting colours and lines that he sees within the music. A piece of this work is shown in the exhibition, together with the original program.
