Peter

Clark

Peter Clark is a Glasgow-based artist who utilises photography to explore themes of identity, ethnicity & ritual. Through a careful and deliberate process, he captures intimate moments and personal portraits, inviting viewers to contemplate their own sense of self. His work is a reflection of the human experience, allowing for a deeper understanding and connection to the complexities of our individual identities, among collective communities. With a keen eye for detail and a nuanced approach, Clark’s photographs offer a glimpse into the intimate and personal worlds of his subjects, provoking contemplation and eliciting introspection. Through his art, he aims to spark a dialogue surrounding the intricacies of identity and the universal need for intimacy. Clark uses various formats for his photogaphy, mainly digital and analogue. He prefers to utilise both as he believes they can complement each other if the processes are carried out thoughtfully and with the other in mind. This brings together processes of past and present, which represent Peter’s creative space and artistic thought in terms of his cultural identity being a mixed Bolivian and Scottish individual.
