Introducing you to my husband Peter Wink, Sculptor and Artist.
Today I would like to give you a glimpse into the life and works of Peter Wink a South African Artist and Sculptor.
Peter was born in Pretoria South Africa in 1949 before moving with his parents to Durban Kwa Zulu Natal at the age of two years.
At a very young age in junior school,he was inspired by his art teacher Mr Dobbs, who encouraged him to pursue his talent as an artist, Peter sold his first painting at the age of six years old.
Most of his youth was spent observing different artists and sculptors and getting involved with workshops, as he developed his own unique style, he became very active in the local art competitions winning quite a few first prizes over the years.
In 1968 while traveling the country during his National service, observing different sculptures and art works in different City Centers, he realized that sculpture was his forte. This is when he obtained sculpture tools and began teaching himself to carve, in those days sculpture courses were not available to him . Apart from studding Fine Arts and Commercial Art part-time at Durban Technikon, he is self taught.
1973 was his first exhibition at Barclays square, also the first day of our honeymoon, quite an exhilarating start to an exciting 47 years of adventure called “Married to an Artist” well, that is a whole new story.
Peter exhibited at a number of Galleries around the country and has sold quite extensively to private collectors, also done commissions.
His name appears in the 1983 edition of Esme Berman Art and Artists of South Africa.
Thank you for giving me the opportunity to share part of my life with you.
