"Peter Hey: Gestalten/Figures"
2005-03-13 until 2005-04-24
Gallery Acculade
Amsterdam, , NL Netherlands

Gallery Acculade in Amsterdam's IJburg exhibits the photopaintings of Peter Hey from March 13th until April 24th, 2005. Peter Hey explains about his works, "The Figures are 'portraits' with images depicted from outside which create and form the innerworld. By rendering man as a Figure 'filled in' with images depicted from their surroundings, 'portraits' appear in which the essential and personal characteristics are reduced to expression and outward characteristics like a silhouette or shadow."

A more complete image from identity can be seen from the images with which they are 'filled'. These images come from the figure's surroundings, images such as landscapes, still-lifes, and cityscapes; the images from the outer world reflecting the innerworld, the identity. - Peter Hey, June 2003

"The photopaintings are a series in mixed media, a combiation of photograpy and painting. The figures are painted in oil or acrylic on a photograph. These have proven to be very suitable to paint on by there protective coating. The paint therefore does not get in touch with the paper while the paint stays very well attached on the coating in a pefect condition," describes Peter Hey in February 2002.

Peter Hey promotes his artwork with an absolutearts.com Premiere Portfolio. He has been a Member since November 2003. View more of his work at: http://www.absolutearts.com/portfolios/p/peterhey or his personal website http://www.peterhey.nl .
