Peter Aspell

Peter Aspell (1918-2004) is considered one of Canada’s colourist painters. He is part of the post-war artists who built the foundation for modern art in Vancouver by challenging and not without controversy, the conventions of their predecessors. He practices an evocative use of colour and expressionist style, often featuring the human body, including self-portraits and nudes. His works are exhibited in group and solo exhibitions in North America, and can be found in collections at the National Gallery, the Art Gallery of Hamilton, the Vancouver Art Gallery, and the Art Gallery of Greater Victoria. His estate is represented by Gallery Jones in Vancouver.
