BIOGRAPHY

Sculptor Peter D. Cole was born in Gawler, South Australia and trained at the South Australian School of Art between 1965 and 1968. Since the 1980’s Cole has been based in the Kyneton District of Victoria, where he has established himself as one of Australia’s senior and most renowned contemporary sculptors, drawing on the landscape as a source of inspiration and research trips to Japan and India have added to his rich source material.

It comes as no surprise that Peter is highly sought for commissions, his work is prominent in many public and corporate collections throughout Australia, including Parliament House, Canberra, the National Gallery of Australia, and Brisbane International Airport

Peter has made a significant contribution to the urban landscape and public spaces of Australia. His contribution as a public artist has not gone unrecognised with Peter receiving the Australian National Trust Heritage Award and the Australian Institute of Landscape Architecture Award of Merit for Foundation Park, a permanent work at The Rocks, Sydney.
