Peter Bakacs is a painter and designer from Victoria, Australia. His acrylic paintings extoll his long-standing passion for vintage vehicles, industrial landscapes, and pop typography. His intuitive eye constantly explores new landscapes and objects of desire. Peter's meticulous nature makes for crisp, brilliant work of bold colour and dynamic form that grace the walls of Outré Gallery and Attica restaurant in Melbourne, private homes, local boardrooms and several galleries in the US and Japan.
