Peter Swift begins with simple objects—the forgettable objects which we see every day, but never see at all. His biggest artistic influences have been Louise Nevelson, Martin Puryear and Andy Goldsworthy.
Hi painting Five Cubic Inches of Maryland Dirt depicts a group of young seedlings growing from a small clump of dirt floating alone in a vast black void. These tiny plants embody both the endangered fragility and the resilience of our entire natural world.

In Two Wooden Balls, Swift uses hyperrealistic renderings and a minimalist compositional format to explore the architecture of nature. The painting has a timeless, almost church-like atmosphere.
More of Swift’s work can be seen at the Seven Bridges Foundation in Greenwich, Connecticut, or by visiting the organization’s website at www.sevenbridges.org. —
