Artwork Description

Still life painting of several glass objects, some filled with water, dyed in primary colours..
Handmade custom "Floating" oak frame.

The title 'meteor' was inspired by Libyan desert glass or Egyptian meteorite glass which was believed to have been formed when a meteor struck earth millions of years ago. Fragments are found scattered across the Libyan and Egyptian border. It was prized by the pharaohs for use in ornamental jewelry.

Peter Tankey’s artworks primarily focus on the still life genre, making meticulously rendered hyper-realistic oil paintings.

His work is comprised largely of non-conventional still life paintings, constructing unusual scenes that suggest a narrative through the juxtaposition of unrelated objects.

Winner of the still life category in the 2022 Bluethumb art prize and shortlisted for several major prizes, his work appears in private, government and corporate collections (nationally and internationally).
