George Peters

George Peters is a Melbourne-based artist working mainly with acrylic on wood or canvas and traditional drawing materials. His art draws inspiration from film, gaming, and geek culture, blending these with his personal thoughts, experiences, and relationships. He often bases fantasy creatures on real people’s characteristics, placing them in imagined forests and mountains. Skies and backgrounds feature prominently to convey emotion and atmosphere. While his works suggest certain themes, George intentionally leaves their meanings open—offering only hints of a story through worlds, props, and beings. His aim is to immerse viewers, inviting them to create their own narratives within his art.
