Water Coming! Art Intimidating Life

Date published 30 June 2021

H2Flow Hire is surprised and delighted to see our water trucks inspiring this stunning artwork by local artist, Peter Smets. The distinctive H2flow Hire branding caught the eye of Peter as he was building his unique, construction inspired art collection called ‘In The Shadow’. 

Peter, a frequent finalist in numerous prestigious Australian and international art prizes, draws his passion for strong images and primary colours directly from “the men and machinery” on construction sites. Peter says that what happens during the various stages of construction is fascinating and provides copious inspiration.

His superbly crafted paintings are being exhibited for a limited time at the excellent Anthea Polson Art gallery in Main Beach until the 10th of July.

Pictured at the exhibition’s opening night with H2flow’s Mark and Elvira Broekman is the delighted Peter Smets whose ‘Water Coming!’ (with a price tag of $36,000) was snapped up by a local Main Beach couple on opening night and was one of several paintings sold on the evening.

The men and tools involved in the construction industry may well be “in the shadow” but Peter Smets’ art most certainly isn’t!
