My statement
|
|
Antimatter is the alter ego of graphic designer Peter Burgess
An experienced typographer with a long fascination with concrete painting, he decided to turn the tools of his trade towards image making, starting a series experimental prints in 2003
He does not paint, and does not pretend that the images are paintings. Computers are now so omnipresent it is foolish not to realise their potential for image making. The series of prints attempts to build on the geometric abstract approach taken by early computer artists from the 1960s and 70s
All compositions are drawn on an Apple Macintosh and printed on an Epson 2000P printer using lightfast inks on archival paper. Larger images are output remotely using the Gilcee process.
Peter studied graphic design at Berkshire College of Art in 1984. Drawing and painting were at the core of the course, and for a while he harboured an ambition to become a fine artist. In the final year he fell in love with typography and book design. Now running his own graphic design business, and is a specialist in the exacting field of dictionary design.

Professional history
|
|
• Oxford University Press, Oxford, 1988–1995
Learning traditional methods of book design.
Oversaw transition from analogue to digital production
• Oxford University Press, Cape Town,
1995–1998
Move to Cape Town –1 year after end of apartheid – witness to massive cultural change. Remit was to modernise the design of all the new South African titles, and was given free reign to do as I liked. Budgets & production facilities very limited. Compelling subject matter (HIV, crime, truth & reconciliation) suited bold approach (not patronising ethno bongo – but modernism in African context)
• Motivate publishing, Dubai
1998 – 1999
Mistaken career move to land of bling.
Much soul searching, fled to India after six months
• Freelance graphic designer since 2000
specialist in dictionary & reference book, but remit of work wide
