George PETERS

(U.S.A)

George Peters is a man full with energy and wisdom, merry, friendly, funny. It breathes youth and the joy in life.

He is an artist with multiple talents: sculptor, architect, creator of mobiles, designer of costumes of scene and stage sets, draughtsman of animated drawings, advertising illustrator and... kite creator.

And what a kites! His cat-man in black and white and his multicoloured bird-man are famous in the whole world.

Fascinated by the Indians of America which he met when it lived in Phenix (Arizona), he discovered their cultures, in particular that of Hopi Kachinas; those made him discover the direction of the primary colors.

In 1993, it undertakes a long trip (3000 km) in the desert of the AmericanWest.

Nature is his source of inspiration, but he also studies the human culture of flight.

Preferring to work on the characters, George Peters does not wish that his kites are carrying messages, but that they are regarded as objects of lightness, of admiration and grace.
