Peter Heij, Utrecht 1960. Lives and works in the Auvergne, Puy de Dôme, France. Completed the Royal Academy of Art and Design (akv | St Joost) in Den Bosch with a specialization in painting (1982-1987). In this period, and afterwards, I worked figuratively, expressively and even abstractly, to continue in 1991 with the realism that had initially started in childhood.
Themes and subjects relate to people and identity in relation to the environment (series Figures/Gestalten), landscapes with reconstructions of the past (Lostlands) or skyscapes as an attempt to capture and shape the elusive (Skyscapes). More recent are the landscapes with traces of the inhabitants (Santa Fe footpaths) or faces as sketches of memories (Faces).
The Photo Paintings intervene on the realistic representation of the photo with paint or another technique. Through this intervention, the fixed and stilled reality is changed, questioned and put into perspective.
Central to this is elevation above and alienation from everyday reality without losing sight of reality in order to find other or perhaps new insights and awareness.
Peter Heij regularly exhibits at home and abroad.
Group exhibitions took place at;
Nel art, Cape Town, ZA; Skyscapes in the gallery collection (2020) and in the Summer Salon 20/21.
