About Peter Vigil

Peter Vigil uses bold colors to abstractly depict everyday or provocative, social and cultural themes that promote divergent perspectives and that transcend collective principles. He uses the resounding vibrancy of the hues, especially the red hues, to provide a sense of a physical existence to his subjects and underscore the complexity of intrapersonal, interpersonal, as well as  emotional experiences.  In a large body of his work, Vigil also embellishes paintings with black lines or swatches to accent the conflicting and complex nature associated with the subject matter.
