Jody Peters
I am an artist based in Ontario, Canada. I graduated from the University of Toronto with a degree in Fine Arts. I am inspired by the Surrealist movement by artists such as Giorgio de Chirico, Rene Magritte, and Salvador Dali. The absurdity of surrealism is reflected in my work using a variety of mediums including acrylic, pastel, polymer, coloured pencil and glass etching.
ARTIST’S STATEMENT
My goal is to challenge the viewer to use their imagination and see that there is more than what has just been observed. Rene Magritte: "Art should be an escape from reality, not a mere reflection of it".
