Peter Chung Oil on Canvas Abstract Expressionist Painting

Oil on canvas painting from the series Family Story by artist Peter Chung. • 14" x 14" x 1.5" • Ready to hang • Signed lower left Peter Chung is an exciting Canadian painter who has exhibited his work nationally. The houses Peter paints represent people. They always have small windows as eyes and without doors to signify people’s need for privacy. This painting with many houses is characterized as relatives or friends to suggest people living in harmony. The background is peaceful, telling a simple story. The reason Peter paints houses to represent people is the houses are places that provide us shelters. For more than half of our life-span, we have to stay inside this shell, as if it is part of our body. Peter wants his paintings to work as mirrors. The paintings’ stories are reflections of their owners, reminding them the messages every time they lay eyes on them, and bring positive energies to their lives.
