“While the influence of Picasso, Matisse, Miro, Klee
and other modernist masters is clear, his creative energy and forceful
imagination are very much his own. Peter starts each day with spontaneous
sketches or doodles and he has accumulated thousands of them. His finished
paintings are often elaborations of one or another of these impulsive
seeds. Titles he has added hit broadly at the nature of the individual
painting they describe and reflect the wit that permeates his work…a
sophisticate with a body of work full of humor and pain. No one else
in contemporary Charleston’s artistic circles is painting with
such a nimble imagination and sure professional touch” Post and Courier, Preview, Charleston, SC “Peter Scala, surrealist artist, will have a solo exhibition titled “My Mind Projected on a Flat Surface”... will open his studio to local art students this month with an event funded (by)the Lowcountry Quarterly Arts Grant program….The solo exhibit at the Hatfield 2 Gallery…featuring six completed during the grant period.” Art by the Harbor "A 20-year retrospective of Peter Scala's surrealist-style paintings is on exhibit for the first time in the United States... The artist explains that he does not seek out subjects but finds them by a happy accident or experience. He points out that his artwork requires study in order to find the human component. Scala paints in an ancient medium of egg tempera on gesso panel...His motivation to work in this medium was influenced by a visit to Siena, Italy, where he studied 13th century tempera panels…" The Island Scala’s semi-abstract paintings have a dreamlike quality...The
compositions are satisfying in proportion and witty, challenging
and provocative in content."
