ABOUT THE ARTIST
Celebrated for his romantic botanicals and brooding landscapes, Pepper Pepper's images echo
pure beauty. His images of people, places, and things are far from ordinary. Sometimes
provocative, sometimes emotional, but always overflowing with drama, Pepper's work is shaped
by his understanding of nature and human sensibilities. Some images are ethereal and others
are grounded in reality, but all decipher the human condition. From his exquisite black and
white photography to the ballet of colors in his abstracts, his images are identifiable yet
completely imaginary. His style has matured into a synthesis of photorealism and
impressionism. Images of a glowing fire inside a Romanesque church or the withered foliage of
an aging prize rose are re-imagined through the kaleidoscopic layers in his work. Stone
and water, petal and silk invite the viewer to explore the relationship between light and
shadow, space and composition. Pepper Pepper's images are open doors that invite the viewer to
pass through; a colorful and exciting journey always awaits.
