Peter Zlatkoff

In an age of sped-up communication and fractured lifestyles, the paintings of Peter Zlatkoff are a balm.

With measured dabs of colour, Peter builds up layers of paint to create tones and forms, and the images that emerge are reexamined in subsequent paintings; in the manner of Monet’s Cathedral series, and Delauney's Eiffel tower series, Peter gives us the angled Te Papa buttress series, the Mt. Vic Tunnel and Hutt Motorway roadside. These are Wellington's 20th Century icons.

The dabs of paint recall impressionist technique but coupled with his storyboard division of canvas, those dabs become the static of a TV screen.

Peter is happy with that connection and is happy to be a painter of light and place at the end of a media saturated century
