Peter Hugo McClure (born August 19, 1947) is a British artist, poet and architect who is classified as a Geometric abstractionist. [1]
Peter was born in an RAF hospital in Venice, Italy to a Scottish Father and Serbian Mother.
He studied Art and Architecture at Waltham Forest Technical College, and Art at Ealing. He is best known for geometric art [2] which has influenced furniture design, [3] and featured on book covers [4] [5] and in magazines. [6]
McClure’s fascination for magic squares, prime numbers, the golden ratio and geometry has driven much of his artwork. [7]
McClure is currently living and working on the Kintyre peninsula. [8]
In 1989, McClure took over the running of the Millhouse restaurant in Penzance and converted it into a mini arts centre as a gallery venue for chess and the arts. [9]
As the first and only vegan restaurant in Penzance at the time, it became a magnet for local and international celebrities including Jonathan Guinness, 3rd Baron Moyne and Susan (Shoe) Taylor who were regular visitors. [10]
