PETER'S STYLE & TECHNIQUE
A painter's technique – the actual way in which he applies paint – can be as personal and distinctive as handwriting.
Peter Pharaoh's chosen medium, oils, are extremely flexible, allowing him to create surface textures ranging from porcelain smoothness to wildly expressive impasto (a term for thickly applied paint), using brushes, knives, or even fingers.
This personal 'handwriting'; is a very distinctive part of Peter Pharoah's style. His paintings are built up with a system of glazes.
A glaze is a transparent or semi-transparent layer of paint applied over another one in such a way that the lower one shows through to some extent. This can produce effects of great richness and depth of colour that cannot be achieved by simply mixing colours together.
To this rich and vibrant backdrop, opaque paint is lightly dragged or skimmed with the brush over a previous layer so that the lower layer is only partly covered and shows through irregularly. Taken together, these techniques allow him to create a vast range of colours and textural effects.
This unique and individualistic approach is a hallmark of Peter Pharoah's work, together with the richness and diversity of his subject, Africa, the land and its people provides a tapestry of contemporary art that both enthralls and inspires.'

Displaying your art is a great way to show your design flair. Whether it’s a memory or a feeling, a piece of art can evoke powerful emotions when we look at it.
Art can cheer us up after a bad day, make us remember, or inspire us to do more in life.
It can provide comfort that we are not the only ones feeling a certain way.
We like to keep it simple so all our originals and prints are simply stretched canvas using a standard size stretcher with the edges painted black.
At the gallery, we prefer the thicker (more substantial) stretcher frame - It usually comes standard in 4.2 or 2cm depth.
We use the 4.2cm and our prints are supplied with sufficient extra canvas around the edges to allow for wrapping around and securing at the back.
Our framers use Dulux Satin Sheen enamel (black) to paint the edges once the artwork has been stretched.
