John Peter Askew (b. 1960, Northumberland, UK) is a British artist living and working in London.
Peter Askew has worked with photography as his principal medium since 1994, often with a considerable time delay between making the images and presenting them as work. He describes his approach as offering ‘respect’ to his sitters and to the material world around us alike.
His recent solo exhibitions include Washington Arts Centre, Washington (2021), Pushkin House London (2020), and Northern Gallery for Contemporary Art, Sunderland (2019). Kerber Verlag have published two volumes of his photographs from Russia, 1996-2017: ‘We’ (2019) and ‘We II’ (2022).
