Peter Hay (1951-2003) was a visionary artist. He was a very English
painter whose work has a poetic and mystical quality. Eclectic,
curious magpie, he found inspiration from everywhere and gathered
it into his image-making. He was a fine draughtsman and
watercolourist, a brilliantly inventive printmaker. At heart a
figurative artist, the work moves into abstraction through striking
black and white and a rich use of colour. After studying Fine Art
at Reading University, and two years away in Cornwall, Peter Hay
settled in Reading for the rest of his life. He had a strong sense
of place; the junction of the rivers Thames and Kennet close to his
home was a frequent symbolic theme in his work. He became a central
figure in the local art community and was an inspirational teacher.
In 1994 he founded Two Rivers Press which gave him the opportunity
to pursue through illustration his passion for campaigning, his
love of poetry and history. This book brings together the range of
this prolific artist's work for the first time.
