Art Images Gallery, Norwood in Adelaide is exhibiting landscape paintings by Australian artist Peter Coad through November 13, 2016.Peter Coad was taken by the complex and grandiose beauty of the earth very early in his childhood. Born in 1947, he spent his first 10 years in the small township of Karoonda in the vast ‘Mallee’ area of South Australia, and duringthat time, he saw the world to be stark and imposing. His paintings reflect his being spiritually in tune with and strangely connected to the landscapes that he so eagerly admires and paints. His works are free of geometrical preciseness and untamed colours, that only make the work less believable. His realism, verging on the naïve, reveals to the viewers paintings of harsh yet breath-taking beauty, where he converges the metaphors around different elements of nature, like mountain, vegetation, and birds, into one blend, conveying an awareness of the delicate balance of the environment.The exhibition is on view at the Art Images Gallery, 32 The Parade, Norwood SA 5067, Adelaide, Australia.
