Peter Finnemore is a freelance artist with extensive experience within the field of international fine art photographic practice, including representing Wales at the Venice Biennale in 1997. This experience extends into education, arts consultancy, curation, research, mentorship, workshops and public commissions. Working on long-term photo art projects on the human condition, generational memory, the homeplace, nature, culture, history and post-industrial landscapes, he seeks to ‘make visible’ .
Finnemore’s practice is a fluid exchange between the expansive language of photography and contemporary fine art sensibilities. These projects are expressed as photographs (analogue & digital), video art, installations, artists books, text art, performance, essays, works on canvas and 3D objects.
A graduate from the Glasgow School of Art and the University of Michigan. His artwork is in a number of public collections, including; Arts Council Collection, Princeton Museum of Art, Chrysler Art Centre and Argos Center for Media and Art, Brussels. He is also included in the major international photographic book survey - Photography Today, Contemporary Photography since 1960 (2015). He lives and works in Wales.
