Peter Le Vasseur's art depicts the beauty of the world and the
pressure that humankind exerts upon it. Not content with merely
creating highly researched nature art, his work carries an
ecological message often ahead of its time. Unusually for an artist
he builds in the detail of contemporary life during the decades
through which he has lived, painting in a meticulous and distinct
style. He escaped the Channel Island of Guernsey with his parents
just before the German Occupation in 1940 and grew up in London as
a refugee. Winning a scholarship to art college he went on to
create pop art for one-man shows in major London galleries and sold
to the Beatles, film stars and aristocracy. In A Brush With Life,
Jason Monaghan presents the definitive work on Le Vasseur's life
and work, charting his progression from pop art and fantasy to
political pieces, book illustration and environmental paintings.
Never depressing, the messages of both artist and author are
thoughtful, and sometimes ironically amusing. Throughout, Le
Vasseur's central philosophy is evident: where nature survives,
hope remains.
