In this episode Gary Mansfield speaks to Peter Stapleton (@peterstapletonart)

Peter was born in the city of Manchester, in the UK and his early years were significantly influenced by the complexities of coming from a family heavily in serious crime. Eventually Peter ended up in prison, charged with armed robbery on security vans. After spending several years on the run in South Africa, Peter was arrested and brought back to the UK.

It was during his time at a High Security Prison that Peter discovered he had a talent for painting and it was here that his passion for art was born.

Eventually working his way to an Open Prison for good behaviour, Peter was released from prison every day to attend Staffordshire University, where he gained a BA (Hons) Fine Art.

Painting in a Hyperrealistic style, Peters work focused on his experiences of Prison life. He looks for drama in a painting and invites the viewer to question what is going on. Painting in a precise and detailed way he likes to work in layers using a rich and saturated palette, giving depth to his paintings.
