Peter Downsbrough (New Jersey, US, 1940) lives and works in Brussels (Belgium). Associated with major international art movements such as minimal art, conceptual art, and visual poetry, his work spans across various mediums including sculpture, wall pieces and room pieces, books, work on paper, photography, film, and video. The work, which has affinities with architecture and typography, explores the traditional use of space and language, while criticizing power structures, e.g. urbanism, that influence social interactions and shape the landscape. Using mostly black and white and a reduced visual vocabulary such as words, lines, and geometric figures, his artistic process offers a reflection on the notions of position, framing, displacement, and interstitial spaces.

Peter Downsbrough is represented by Angels, Barcelona; Krakow Witkin Gallery, Boston; Thomas Zander, Cologne. His films are distributed by Argos Centre for audiovisual, Brussels. Since 1972, he has been exhibiting regularly in the United States and Europe.
