Peter Sedgley (born 1930)

Peter Sedgley initially studied architecture in London 1944-46, before serving in Egypt, 1948-50. In 1958 he founded a co-operative of Associated Technicians, concerned with design and construction. By 1963 he had become increasingly interested in painting and in 1968 was a founding member of Space Provision Artistic Cultural and Educational (SPACE) and Art Information Registry (AIR) Information Centre for the Arts. His first solo exhibition was held in 1965 at The McRoberts and Tunnard Gallery, London. This was soon followed by a major exhibition at the Howard Wise Gallery, New York.

Along with Bridget Riley his work passed through a monochromatic period followed by an increasing interest and experimentation with a controlled chromatic scale.

During the 1960's he was a leading figure in the development of op art, kinetic and light art. Working with light, kinetic sculpture, painting and computers his work has constantly evolved through abstraction, construction and the development of forms and effects based on repetition.

A major exhibition of his work was held at the IKON Gallery, Birmingham in 1973. He exhibits internationally and his work is held in many public collections including the Tate, the British Arts Council and by numerous regional galleries.

Peter Sedgley lives and works from his studios in Berlin and Sussex .
