PETER JOHNSTON

“I have always been interested in the relationship of colour to sculpture... Forms frozen in time appear ready for continued growth. The work reflects the complexity of nature, but also reveals strong modernist underpinnings”.

- Peter Johnston -

Peter Johnston was born in England and came to Canada as a child. He grew up in Toronto and received his Bachelor of Fine Arts from Queen’s University and Master of Fine Arts from the University of Guelph. He has taught sculpture at Queen’s University, St. Lawrence College, and the University of Guelph. His work is in many public and private collections, including the Toronto Dominion Bank and Minto Corporation. Commissions include the River Run Centre (Guelph) and Sony Canada.
