Peter Ransom

Peter Ransom is a New Zealand artist born in 1957, known for his figurative art that draws inspiration from literature, particularly the works of Edvard Munch and Marcel Proust. After a successful start to his career in the 1980s, Ransom moved to Japan in 1989, where he largely withdrew from the art scene until recently. His works, celebrated for their moody and introspective qualities, have been rediscovered and exhibited again, showcasing both classic and new pieces.
