Peter Dimick


Bio: Born in Berlin, Vermont (USA). He currently lives in San Francisco but has lived and sold work in Miami, Seattle, Chicago and New York.
Profil: Painter.
Card: Peter Dimick’s paintings are part of an ongoing search for imbalance. He is inspired by random events and imagery from film and print. He overlaps his own sketches with layers of paint as he searches for the perfect imperfect stage of the painting. Deconstruction and rebirth play a large role in his work. He destroys and reworks the colors, shapes and materials themselves. He piles drawings on top of each other and finds new images among the disorder. He cuts finished paintings into pieces and sews them back together and paints with anything from knives to the back of his fingers. On a daily basis he is challenged by the lack of guidelines in art and enjoys discovering new ways to approach his painting; whether he starts with a drawing, a blank canvas or pieces of canvas sewn together. His differing approaches are evident in his wide variety of styles from abstract to realism.
