Peter Kiss Gallery

Artists: Peter Kiss and Tania Gleave. Zoology meets Architecture in the creation of Peter’s artwork. With a sense of imagination, humour and some loose wiring (occasionally falls from his in-studio climbing wall), Peter’s art can get pretty strange, though it usually provokes some thought and a smile. Artwork is created from wood in the Island studio, so you can personally evaluate the artist’s current state of sanity (which varies depending on whether or not he was able to kayak to work that day).

Tania’s work encompasses paintings, monoprints, laser cut aluminum and jewellery. Travel and work with the U.N. from Antarctica to Angola have inspired some of her imagery, while her interest and degrees in Asian Studies and Textiles are also evident.

Also on display are some collaborative works, an experience they enjoyed so much it has led to their marriage this past September.

Their goal is to have fun.
