"Apperceptions"

The Sorbonne
Private collection

At a time when painting wavers between doctrine and decoration, Peter Waite's work applies both ironic humor and discipline to a more fundamental task: sharing a visual record of remembered experience.

His large scale paintings since 1987 have dealt with places that embody public sentiment or ideological concerns.

Stadiums, monuments, cemeteries, formal gardens, as well as public housing and industrial lanscapes are some of the locations that provide his recurrent theme of “Personal/Social Memory.”

By omitting figures from the representation, Waite emphasizes the viewer's participation as witness to the moment. In these paintings we always seem to be just arriving, a first impression that lasts — or just leaving, taking one last look.
