Peter Roche (1957 – July 2020) was a New Zealand sculptor. He was born in 1957 and studied at Elam School of Fine Arts, University of Auckland. His primary focus area is on light-based sculptural installations,[1] though he first made his mark in performance art.[2] In 1995 he bought the 1920s former Ambassador Theatre in Point Chevalier, and used the space to build his artwork.[3][4] Roche died in July 2020 of lung cancer.[5]
Perhaps his best-known works are large-scale pieces like Coral, adorning the Vero Centre building in downtown Auckland,[6] and Saddleblaze, installed at Gibbs Farm.
