A chat with Peter Coad, Painter of Landscape

Peter Coad describes himself as a "Painter of Landscape"

“Peter spent the first 10 years of his life in the Mallee town of Karoonda approximately 120kms south-east of Adelaide, South Australia, where he was surrounded by huge, infinite and vast landscape. This explains his connection with wide-open spaces and the vibrant colours that nature presents, and which have an immense influence on his work.

For subject matter he makes regular artistic journeys to many destinations in Australia and overseas, where he chooses locations that he can mindfully connect to and which have a strong spiritual and indigenous history. The cultural understanding and knowledge gained of each place clearly assists in his capturing the essence and feeling of the land in his paintings.”

Peter Coad’s artwork can be purchased at the Artworx Gallery at Goolwa

"Peter's paintings reveal to us landscapes of harsh yet breathtaking beauty as he skilfully blends symbolic interpretations of mountains, wetlands, vegetation and bird life in an endeavour to convey an awareness of the delicate balance of the environment."

“It was a pleasure to chat with Peter Coad about his career as an artist.  So many stories and connections with art in all it’s different forms including his painting practice, working on an Australian Film “The Tracker” working with an Australian musician Russell Morris and so much more.  It was a lot of fun and I thank Peter for his generosity of time to share his stories with us. Peter’s paintings to me have a peaceful spiritual connection to the earth and makes you want to look into the paintings and in your mind immerse yourself into the beauty and splendour of the landscapes of our earth .”
