A graduate of the Rhode Island School of Design (RISD), the sculptor and artist Peter Morse started his career as assistant to Donald Lipski in New York City. From there he fine-tuned his talent and honed his exceptional expertise with patinas as an enlargement technician at Tallix Foundry in Beacon, New York where he worked with artists Nancy Graves, Frank Stella, Roy Lichtenstein and Peter Haines.
Morse began showing his work in Europe in the carly 1990’s, a natural progression for the German-speaking artist whose mother is from Pforzheim, Germany. His work is inspired by and has been showcased in some of the world’s most beautiful cities including Vienna and London.
Many of his small works are caricatures, maquettes for larger scale works, his mastery of form making and seamless artistry of working Bronze, translates when viewed as potential sculptures whose size could be monumental in scale.
Paintings and works on paper are of an abstract nature, a discovery of form and color allowing a flexibility in interpretation. Color and texture of materials combine in a myriad of abstraction and definitive image making. Broad, strong and emotive intentions are clearly visible and retain his playful surrealist influences.
