“Hovering between realism and the abstract, protean forms and colours suggest, though they seldom proclaim, worlds, places, sea, hills, rain, seasons, minds. Nothing moves but everything seems on the brink of movement. Strikingly bright colours clash with each other, dance, knit together in muffled inkings of pasture, volcano, earth, heaven, hell”. (Brendan Lehane)
Peter Bedford 1913 - 1998
After a long and varied career in architecture, culminating in the development of Chelsea Harbour in London, Peter Bedford returned to his old passions - painting, drawing, etching. Peter had his first one-man exhibition at The Bruton Street Gallery in 1994. His work continued to be shown in London and at his new studio in Wiltshire in the late 1990s. All were sell-out exhibitions. Peter’s work has sold widely in the UK, Europe, Australia and the Middle East. A selection of the few remaining abstracts, drawings and etchings are shown on this website.
