Peter Varga has been using plaster to create fine art panels and technical wall installations throughout the US and Europe for over 20 years
Peter Varga is a fine artist and specialized craftsman, taking inspiration from everyday objects / happenings and translating them into his own language: plaster. He fuses the materials and techniques of the classical masters with modern technologies and design philosophies to transform architectural spaces. The common goal of his work is to learn his media and its limitations, creating his own tools and methods for pushing the material to new and historically unprecedented applications.
His works utilize the layering of various fine plasters and shapes often based on feelings, emotions, and stories. He contrasts gloss with matte, texture with smoothness, and organic with geometric to create subtle textural shifts and unique experiences that are completely dependent on light and point of view.
His newest works involve the sculptural exploration of plaster on canvas. A material that is meant to be stiff, rigid, and permanent is pushed to mold, form, and crack.
