Self-taught artist Peter Baka was born in Adelaide in 1957. Although having exhibited his work in galleries since 1982 he would be considered by many to be an “outsider” artist His diverse interests are evident from one exhibition to another, while his naive manner of working utilising materials and resources readily available to him provide a common thread. In his assemblages, paintings and etchings he always offers us a delightful view into his idiosyncratic, warm and honest take on the human condition Peter has been represented by the Robin Gibson Gallery since 1986, and his works are held in numerous private and public collections including the National Gallery of Australia Canberra, and the Art Gallery of South Australia
