Peter Hugo McClure

Peter Hugo McClure (born August 19, 1947) is a British artist, poet and architect who is classified as a Geometric abstractionist.

History
Peter was born in an RAF hospital in Venice, Italy to a Scottish Father and Serbian Mother.

He studied Art and Architecture at Waltham Forest Technical College, and Art at Ealing. He is best known for geometric art which has influenced furniture design, and featured on book covers and in magazines.

McClure’s fascination for magic squares, prime numbers, the golden ratio and geometry has driven much of his artwork.

The Millhouse Gallery
In 1989, McClure took over the running of the Millhouse restaurant in Penzance and converted it into a mini arts centre as a gallery venue for chess and the arts.

As the first and only vegan restaurant in Penzance at the time, it became a magnet for local and international celebrities including Jonathan Guinness, 3rd Baron Moyne and Susan (Shoe) Taylor who were regular visitors.
