Peter Matthews (born 1978) is an English artist who specialises in creating paintings while immersed in water, often floating on, or submerged in, oceans.This timescale of this process can range from several hours to a few days.He works with art materials strapped about his person, and allows the movement of the ocean and its waves to paint his pictures for him.He has been identified as being part of a long English tradition of maritime art, whilst his abstract style has been compared to that of American expressionist Jasper Johns.His creative process has occasionally led him into danger, and has resulted in his receiving injuries, and even catching diseases.Matthews' work has been exhibited internationally, as well as being used to illustrate aspects of scientific research in marine biology.
