Overview

Peter Tunney (b.1961) is a legitimate force of nature with boundless creative energy, spreading his positive messages in unconventional ways and delivering works of art to a worldwide collector base. He creates in almost every medium: paint, collage, wood, photography, found objects, and discarded materials. His nontraditional life, cache of extraordinary experiences, and countless wild adventures serve as the foundations for his work.

 

His dynamic textual images blanket New York City, which he affectionately calls "The City of Dreams", as giant billboards. Like magic these billboards spontaneously appear and disappear, an intentional phenomenon as Tunney himself is a trained magician.

 

Tunney has owned and operated ground floor studios and galleries in lower Manhattan for the last 27 years. Open daily and free to the public, they embody his deep connection to and understanding of the city. In addition to his current Tribeca space on Leonard Street, for the last eight years Tunney has also maintained a gallery in the heart of Miami's famed Wynwood Walls. As Wynwood's first tenant, The Peter Tunney Experience has been a fixture in of the thriving Wynwood neighborhood.

 

Throughout his 30-year artistic career, Tunney's entrepreneurial spirit has remained strong. In 2015, he partnered with friend and developer Jessica Goldman Srebnick to form Goldman Global Arts. GGA curates and executes transformative art projects for causes, cities and corporations around the world.
