The Bear
Jo Peel’s work reflects an enduring interest in displacement and the life of cities. It centres upon the tension between urban life and people’s fondness for the natural world, and the parallel stories that can be seen emerging from around the globe.
Doug is a carefully considered composition that urges the viewer to look at the environment around them and think about its past, present and future – every small detail in buildings and deconstruction has an impact on the surrounding world.
