Peter J. Geise
Geise, a veteran of the San Diego scene, employs drawing, painting and collaged material with a stream of consciousness style. The self taught artist utilizes abstract figures and non objective elements in his work. Geise is influenced by the modern artists of the 20th century. Working along similar methods of Klee, Miro, and Picasso, Geise's work is an “updating” of 20’s to 60’s abstract art. His work often features biomorphic “figures” or "glyphs" in formal and random or “automatic” compositions. Working in a primitive direction, Geise's style ranges from folk to street art. Geise works mainly with acrylic paint, collage and colored pencil. Additional influences on composition and theme include music (alternative rock, etc), classic film, “underground” comics, 1950’s Science Fiction, graffiti, and various contemporary themes.
Geise's work has been featured at the La Jolla Athenaeum and The San Diego Art Institute. Geise has won numerous awards, including 10 best of show awards. Geise has shown with artists like Richard Alan Morris and Walter Hasse Wojtyla. His work is included in the Vincent Price art collection.
