An exhibition of drawings that explore how Peter Chou sees the world, providing some insight into an autistic mind, and recognising the unique ways people can express themselves through art. Of primary interest is the artist’s photographic memory and interest in places, creating exquisite drawings filled with information where things are a little out of the ordinary. Drawing directly, without preliminary sketches, Chou uses high-quality felt pens to record his favourite views of cities from an elevated position. Peter has an incredible eye for detail, his exhibition includes drawings of Sydney, Melbourne, London, Taipei and Auckland, to name a few. A work by Peter, Manila was highly commended in the 2018 IHC Art Awards. His exhibition, The Mind, The Gaze And The Cities is supported by Hōhepa Canterbury.
