The horned figure has a human face. This painting poses the question whether it is man or animal which is the beast of burden. The figure is dancing under the hot sun to find pleasure in its work, for both man and beast must toil and be joyful.
Peter Gresham The Long Run Oil on canvas 2004 120cm x 90cm Peter Gresham was born in Melbourne in 1957 and has worked in the printing and graphics trade for 30 years. He has painted for his own enjoyment for many years but has only recently developed a strong desire to create and show an original body of work. His first experience of exhibiting came at a group exhibition in the City of Port Phillip earlier this year. Group Exhibitions 2004 'People & Place' Gasworks Arts Park, Melbourne, Australia Bendigo Easter Art Show riptide Community of Port Phillip Artist Statement Over the past year or two while searching for a subject for a series of works, I have become fascinated by these "urban installations" which I assume are some sort of symbol for youth culture. As I discover these pieces, I document them photographically to use as points of reference for my own original compositions. Strangely, as I get older, I realise that I identify strongly with these obscure yet subliminal attempts to be seen or heard and recognise that I too have become interested in making my mark.
