Peter Smyth

Peter Smyth is a contemporary Irish painter based in County Kildare. His practice explores the intersection of biology, technology, and painting, drawing on natural structures, computer-rendered forms, and the tactile language of paint to investigate systems of exchange. Smyth creates highly constructed works rooted in digital renders that use the morphological traits of plants—particularly those linked to biopiracy or ecological tension—as a generative starting point.

His works have been exhibited across Ireland and Europe, and are held in private collections internationally, including in Australia, Cambodia, and Alaska.
