Peter Tankey’s artworks primarily focus on the still life genre, making meticulously rendered hyper-realistic oil paintings.
His work is comprised largely of non-conventional still life paintings, constructing unusual scenes that suggest a narrative through the juxtaposition of objects.
Shortlisted for several major prizes, his work appears in private, government and corporate collections (nationally and internationally).
