From the Curator of Museum Services at the University of Dundee :
"The latest exhibition in the Tower Foyer Gallery showcases the work of painter Peter Flynn and celebrates 50 years since he enrolled at Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art.
Entitled Crossings, the exhibition features work representing ideas and thoughts influenced by the artist’s travels and environment. They explore what he has gathered both physically and emotionally as he travels around the world and in the world. It includes recent work as well as some of Peter’s student works from the DJCAD Collection.
Born in Paisley, Peter Flynn gained his Diploma in Art at Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art in 1979, completing a postgraduate year in 1980. He went on to train as a teacher and during this time was awarded the prestigious Elizabeth Greenshield Award, allowing him to travel and work in various countries.
On his return he was invited to take part in the pioneering Blackness Public Art Programme, creating the Lochee Fence and the Polepark Arch. Peter continued to exhibit his work while also enjoying a long career in teaching, ultimately becoming Principal Teacher of Art at St John’s RC High School. Since retiring he has been painting and exhibiting full time.
