Mediums Used

A truly remarkable man who is the quintessential artist of his time as he moves effortlessly from era to era with skilful ease. Currently the exhibition “Bubbling Optimism” epitomises his strength and success. His work is spread world wide and has an enthusiastic following of friends and clients, who are usually both, so it is quite difficult to get a piece of his work before all the editions are snapped up.
Peter Thursby and his lifetime of work is the subject at the Guernsey Museum Art exhibition this year till June. Go and look at what he has achieved with pieces from a few inches high to larger than life. Unusually there is some work for sale, so do take this rare opportunity.
