Principal lecturer, Peter Bok has been a practising artist since the 1980s'.
Over the years he has established himself as a significant award winning painter, draftsman and arts educator in Adelaide. Studying at the Rietveld Akademie in Amsterdam, he was taught traditional portrait painting by Herman Gordijn, the royal portraitist, along side the Post Modern Conceptualists and the Neo-Expressionists.
It was his interest in the latter that took him to Berlin in 1984 after graduating from the Rietveld. In Berlin, his exposure to the Neue Wilde such as Fetting and Salome, was to greatly influence his bold painting style.
In the early 1990s' his work saw a significant shift into a disciplined hard-edged geometric abstraction.
