Peter Zanetti and his Artistic Call of the Wild

Singers in the Wood

Bone Dancers

There is no doubt that the often harsh landscape and scenery of Australia is enthralling not just to those who view it through the eyes of a filmmakers lens, or those who have the pleasure of a flying visit, but also to those who are resident in this amazing country. Not all may completely appreciate the magnificence of the parched earth, the scraggly bush, the continental bedrock exposed by erosion, on this oldest, lowest, flattest continent on Earth, but most can still be held in awe by its breath-taking beauty.

One artist who has clearly been captivated by this unique scenery for most of his life, is Sydney artist Peter Zanetti. His skill as an artist and print-maker has meant that much of the landscape as seen through his eyes, has been recorded in his own brilliant portrayal of colour, flora, shape and scale.

Blistering

Peters’ skill as a screen printer is indisputable. His prints are limited editions, individually produced by him, signed and numbered.

His knowledge of the national parks skirting Sydney has meant that his work has become a relative time-capsule of the zone, as he systematically records what he sees, in his own inimitable style. Even his titles are captivating and are a clue to his brilliant eye for interpretation.

Rise and Fall

The Edge Art Space is rightly proud to represent Peter Zanetti, and we are honoured to have his interpretations of this amazing land and the people inhabiting it, on our walls. As Peter continues to document his world as it evolves around him, we will continue to hang his work for the pleasure of all who enter The Edge Art Space.
