Michael Lett is pleased to present a selection of paintings by Peter Stichbury produced during 2020.
Stichbury’s portrait-like paintings explore themes that relate to observations of human consciousness and emerging sciences. These real and imagined figures are witnesses to these ideas and occurrences.
Although his style remains consistent from project to project, this continual thematic reinvention has allowed the artist’s oeuvre to gradually accumulate an absorbing breadth and complexity.

Stichbury’s portraits depict the citizens of an alternate reality that hovers just out of reach, visible but partially suppressed.
