Jaimee Peters

Biography
Jaimee Peters

‘I've always tried to muddy what is normally a high-key colour and offset it with something incongruous.’ These tensions between colour consonance and dissonance underpin viewers' attempts to interpret the work.

Jaimee Peters (Te Rarawa, Ngāti  Kuri, Ngāti Kahu ki Whangaroa) is currently living, working and painting in Wellington, after completing a Bachelor of Fine Arts - Painting, at the University of Canterbury, School of Fine Arts.


Jaimee's practice aims to explore the tension between abstraction and representation and seek an aesthetic resolution that is just out of reach. Her paintings are full of contradictory associations of ideas and issues - fluid and static, chaotic and controlled, accessible and repelling.


Her process involves drawing from architectural images, usually public buildings or brutalist structures, reconfiguring their linear planes with incompatible colour to make a new form part real and part imagined.
