ARTS + CULTURE
@ OREXART GALLERY Peter James Smith An artist, traveler, and mathematician, highly celebrated, deeply emersed in the landscape and the stories it can tell us, Peter takes his paintbrush, maths and poetry into the Milford and Dusky Sounds to capture the waterfalls in all their glory. Not only does he take us there but also out to Lord Howe Island to measure the wind forces of cyclones in the painting ‘Curvature of the Wind.’ These are paintings where mathematics, history, and romanticism connect us to the wonders of our world.
