Throughout his career, he worked within the fields of painting, drawing, installation, and photography and, since 1970, exhibited in museums and galleries across Canada, the United States, and Europe.
[3] Identified by translucent, egg-tempera color and secco technique, in a review of the (No) Man's Land exhibition at Forum Gallery, Los Angeles, ARTnews critic Richard Chang noted, "a luminosity that captured crisp light and clean shadows spreading across the island.
[15] In 1991, Krausz’s solo exhibition, Journeys at 49th Parallel Gallery in New York, was reviewed favorably by Frederick Ted Castle in Art in America.
[9] This exhibition included the 14-painting series Night Train, inspired by Claude Lanzmann's documentary Shoah, now in the collection of the Jewish Museum (Manhattan).
[17] By the time of his Landscape and Memory series (1996-1998), Krausz's signature style of rich, vibrant colors using a unique secco technique was evident.
[20] Throughout his career, Krausz explored a variety of painting and drawing techniques, mediums and surfaces including stretched and unstretched canvas and sculpted wood.
[29] Early in his career, Krausz's work drew attention for its political iconography and illustration of "the abuses, subjugation and suffering stemming from totalitarism".
[30] In 1989, at the time of the Robert McLaughlin Gallery exhibition, art historian James D. Campbell wrote that Krausz "is above all, a humanist and his continuing attempts at commemoration — both vehemently personal and unavoidably universal — have a deeply felt and humanizing focus.
"[4] As a contemporary artist working within a classic medium, curator Jocelyne Fortin of the Musée Régional de Rimouski credits Krausz for "breathing new life" into landscape and for shaping "it into a unique and stunning style."
His work was the subject of several documentaries including Doina Harap's Peter Krausz No Mans Land (2009) which premiered at the Festival international du film sur l'art (Montreal).
