The paintings of Peter Watts condense the richness of the landscape of Wellfleet, Massachusetts. By working with high contrast and simplified form, Watts brings to the familiar medium a spiritual and abstracted light. Watts is a sophisticated and exciting painter of seemingly simple subject matter and represents some of the best of the continuing evolution of American Modernism. He builds paintings with limited form, allowing the observer to find what resonates between the eye and the heart, between perspective and transposition.
