Peter Stichbury is one of New Zealand’s most unique portrait artists. Living and working in Auckland he has developed a reputation over the past decade for works inspired by social types from a variety of media sources. Much of his work echoes the smooth and glossy feel of magazines but with unsettling undertones more in line with underground comics and a clear element of social satire or critique. Yet he sees his work within the traditions of art history and portraiture.
