Peter Hoon - A Retrospective

The Wirksworth-based artist Peter Hoon, who died in March 2008, was a printmaker of outstanding skill and achievement. He invested the technique of the collagraph with unusual sensitivity in response to architecture, the coast, and still-lifes reminiscent of the work of Giorgio Morandi. A popular and much-loved local artist, Peter worked tirelessly for the Wirksworth community and took part in every Art and Architecture Trail from the Festival’s early days.
