Portrait of Peter Lavskis
2022
This portrait takes its inspiration from Jeffrey Smart’s ‘Portrait of Clive James’, in which the sitter appears as a distant figure on an overpass above a corrugated iron fence. Peter is shown here looking down from a balcony of the apartments above a car-parking station where he lives. In both cases, the claim to be a portrait is somewhat tenuous.
