Current work was born out of the last few years experiences of trips
to and living in Pakistan. Return to the UK always induced comparison
between the cultures.

Inspiration is mainly drawn from the historic riches of Persian
miniature painting, and the Western pop conception of the 'Superhero'.
Alongside these considerations, man's competitive desire to excel
above the rest and paradoxically the tendency to elevate others above
himself are also discussed.

The wealth of textile, interior and architectural design of the East,
and contemporary visual design of the West are further referred to in
the use of pattern and geometry. This acknowledges historical links
and developments that have occurred through trade and settlement, as
well as war and conquests.

Peter Mansfield currently lives and works as an artist in Dundee,
Scotland. Through an interest in and love of differing cultures and
societies, he has travelled and worked primarily in Pakistan, but also
Spain and Mexico, where differences (and similarities) in the way
people look, live, eat, work, speak and express their beliefs has
inspired much of his thinking and work.
