Peter Davidson is a Narrm/Melbourne-based artist and architect, best known for designing Melbourne’s Federation Square and founder/co-director of LAB architecture studio. After a major stroke in 2010, Davidson stopped practicing as an architect and devoted himself full-time to his artistic practice. Drawing has always been an integral part of Davidson’s life, and his drawings reflect a relentless desire to explore the line, both in architecture and then through abstraction. Drawing with his non-dominant hand, Davidson creates intricate works, tracing a multitude of patterns and forms through the strict constraint of black lines on paper. In recent years, Davidson has expanded his practice to include watercolours, exploring pattern and composition through colour.
