An artist with a portfolio inspired by his home in Greece and his Hull heritage is preparing to display a selection of his work at a double exhibition in the city.
Peter Huby’s passion for creativity has produced nearly 60 years’ worth of paintings, etchings, sculptures and books which will be showcased in “Hull and Back” at the University of Hull.
A centrepiece in the exhibition will be a model inspired by the house that has been built by Peter and his wife Linda Cox, as a work of art in itself, near Kalamata in the Southern Peloponnese.

The exhibition will take place in the University of Hull Gallery in the Brynmor Jones Library from 20 January until 12 March. There will also be a companion event at Wrecking Ball Arts Centre from 24–26 January with a three-day programme of screenings of some of Peter’s films. Admission is free for all the events.
John Bernasconi, Director of the University of Hull Art Collection, said: “We like to bring our public a wide variety of different exhibitions. This is our first exhibition of 2023 and in itself it has a remarkable variety of themes from the big skies of Spurn Point to the fire skies of Sheffield in the blitz.
“There is also the intricacy and quality of the etchings which date back to the 1960s, the delicacy and fragility of Peter’s classically inspired sculptures and the remarkable colour, curves and sheer vibrancy of the self-built house near Kalamata, in Greece.
“We started with the simple idea of showing Peter’s paintings of Spurn Point, but when we explored his other work we realised it should be a full retrospective exhibition. We’ve never had an exhibition quite like this and it’s an exhilarating way to launch the new year.”
