Since 2006,
Peter Kurgan’s studio is located in the heart of Potsdam’s famous Dutch
quarter. Peter has been working as a freelance Painter and photographer for
over thirty years. Continuous study visits to the Canary Island of Lanzarote
form the base of his works.
Peter
creates paintings that are unique in their own way - and change looks in
fascinating ways, without utilizing traditional colors. It takes multiple
processes - using volcanic ash from Lanzarote, Gemstone Powder - and numerous
colorful desert sands from all over the world - to finalize a painting.
Using heat,
vacuum, different types of sand and a uniquely developed Binders help to
„growing“ his pictures over months - a process that involves more than 30 years
of development work.
His
paintings „live“ - and change appearance with shifting light conditions. The
main characteristic is, however, that each picture emits its own energy, which
- according to the artist's claim – must be tangible.
For years,
Peter Kurgan has been one of the leading suppliers for gallery and exhibition
needs. The artist offers everything, from advice to individual design, delivery
and assembly.
