Artist Information
Peter Haigh was born in 1914 and raised on a farm near the Yorkshire town of Lockwood. Initially, painting was a natural childhood hobby and as a result he sold his first painting at the age of fifteen. An early training as a textile sample dyer developed his natural admiration for, and understanding of, colour, tone and shapes. Haigh spent several years painting and travelling extensively across the UK and then spent seven years in the army. He served in the Second World War, mostly in the Far East. His decision to become an artist was firmly decided during this period.
In 1988 The Pride Gallery put on a very successful retrospective exhibition of his paintings from 1949 to 1985 and in 1991 another show was held at Ambiente Gero, Galeria de Arte, in Valencia. In 2009 Paisnel Gallery, London held a successful solo exhibition of 'Works From The Studio'.
Peter Haigh died in London in 1994 aged eighty.
