Art Wynwood will bestow its 2024 Lifetime Achievement Award to visual artist Peter Tunney, a genuine force of nature with boundless creative energy, spreading his positive messages in unconventional ways while delivering works of art to a worldwide collector base for over 30 years. He creates in almost every medium: paint, collage, wood, photography, found objects, and discarded materials. His nontraditional life, a cache of extraordinary experiences, and countless wild adventures serve as the foundations for his work. In addition to his current Tribeca space, Tunney has maintained a gallery in the heart of Miami’s famed Wynwood Walls for the last eight years.
Peter Tunney- INVINCIBLE SUMMER (6ft x 8ft)
The Peter Tunney Experience is a fixture in the thriving Wynwood neighborhood (previous Art Wynwood Lifetime Achievement Award recipients include Mel Ramos, Martha Cooper, Shepard Fairey, Logan Hicks, Ron English). Here’s some words from Peter Tunney about his special booth/show, Invincible Summer (inspired by the words of Albert Camus): “I have been immersed in Invincible Summer since I first stumbled upon the passage by Albert Camus. Thousands of quotes and snippets flood into my mind and studio regularly, but this one pierced my heart and resonated with me in my core. It gave me the way. It articulated for me something that I’ve been feeling for decades but was unable to express.
Peter Tunney- ALBERT CAMUS
Since Jan. 2023, “Invincible Summer” has been in the DNA of my practice of art making and daily meditation. It is the lens through which I’ve been processing all aspects of life. I might even say that these words have changed the trajectory of my life going forward. Words do matter.”
