27.5 x 23.5 in (69.9 x 59.7 cm) including frame
Originally from Northern Ireland, Winnipeg-based painter Peter McConville spent decades exploring the dense parkland topography of Manitoba. His landscapes draw frequent inspiration from the aspen and poplar forests surrounding Winnipeg, informed by regular hikes through local Winnipeg areas such as Little Mountain Park and along the trails flanking the Seine River. Balancing a graphic background with landscape painting, McConville translates these familiar stands of timber into rhythmic, patterned studies of natural light and seasonal change.
Measuring 18 by 14 inches, Hush depicts a silhouetted autumn forest interior defined by McConville’s signature pointillist technique. The slender vertical trunks divide the composition, creating a dark, structured screen against a vibrant background of foliage and dappled light. Through countless stippled marks and concentrated dots of pure colour, McConville builds a shimmering surface that balances the precise geometry of tree stands with the atmospheric stillness of the autumn woods.

Peter McConville
Peter McConville was born in Banbridge, Northern Ireland in 1951. At fifteen he began his career as an artist in one of Ireland’s textile print companies. The position offered professional art employment as well as the opportunity to study fine art and design. His earlier artworks were displayed in Belfast as part of juried exhibits. Northern Ireland’s history, rich with culture and scarred with conflict, was a common subject in his early work. In later years Peter incorporated his experience with textile design into his artistic process through the method of reducing his environment into stylized, solid shapes in vibrant, saturated colours. He went on to develop a unique method of applying dot patterns throughout the composition, creating surreal, dreamlike images of trees in the Canadian landscape. In his words,
“The fallen leaves and dead woods feed the forest, a reminder of the cycle of life. When I look into the forest, it reveals a wonderful range of deep, rich colours. The bright orange, red and green leaves found in the forest make up a natural, complementary palette.”

Peter exhibited his works in Toronto, Winnipeg, and Calgary, as well as galleries in Ireland and the United States. His work is housed in many corporate and private collections, including RBC, Great West Life, Bison Transport, Investor’s Group and James Richardson International.
