Peter Mears (b. 1988, UK) lives and works in London and Hampshire.

Peter Mears' sculptures embody a coming together—a performance that captures the buildup before creation, the act itself, and the pause before final composition. His approach to working in series reflects both shared family traits and the individuality of a given reason for making. Drawing on his background in architecture, he explores the relationship between material, proximity, and technology to translate intention into form. Influenced across disciplines, his work seeks to communicate the hidden patterns and structures that shape our physical world. Sculpture becomes a medium for grounding ephemeral actions, where form acts as a script—one that can only be fully understood at the completion of a piece.

Mears likens his process to that of a composer, where accessing vast variables and conditions to create a single note comes first—only then can a composition emerge over time. He draws inspiration from the concealed structures that underpin music, film, and choreography, using them to inform the shaping of objects rather than focusing solely on the object itself.

His recent exhibitions include Improv, The Pantry, Hampshire (2025), Façade, The Barn, Hampshire (2024) and Hands, 8 Holland Street, London (2024).

Peter studied architecture at the University of Applied Arts Vienna (Die Angewandte), spatial design at the University of Brighton, and art and design at Falmouth.
