Hearts & Pearls
on view in the gallery
17 May – 14 June 2025
With my hands I build curious and beautiful worlds within worlds; an immersive display of picturesque grottos. Playfully arranged pearls, buttons, jewel encrusted flowers, crystal birds and porcelain animals create an alchemical garden of earthly delights. Fairy lights twinkle and sparkle while scrabble letters may direct our attention to life’s meaningful mysteries. These are my recipes from the collective cauldron of the unconscious.

Self-taught artist Peter Baka was born in Adelaide in 1957
Although Peter has been exhibiting his work since 1982, he could be considered to be an “outsider” artist. His diverse interests are evident from one exhibition to another, while his “naive” manner of working with materials and resources readily available to him provide a common thread. In his assemblages, paintings and etchings he always offers us a delightful view into his idiosyncratic, warm and honest take on the human condition
Peter has been represented by Robin Gibson Gallery since 1986. His works are held in numerous private and public collections including the National Gallery of Australia Canberra, and the Art Gallery of South Australia
