"California Spring Water 36x26" by Peter Kotka - 🔥🔥🔥Framed Oil on Board - Inquire
Art Brokerage: Peter Kotka British Artist: b. 1951. Peter was born February 1951, to an English mother and Estonian father. He started his working life as a toolmaker and designer of aluminum extrusion dyes but began to paint in 1979. Entirely self-taught, he turned professional in 1983. Peter has an absolute love of oil painting and especially admires the masters of Dutch Painting of the 17th Century, which is reflected in his own work. Since 1995, after seeing the work of Estonian artist Olav Maran, Peter decided to review his paintings and started researching 'Still Life' painters such as Willem Kalf and De Heem. After experimenting with priming his own panels and canvases with different colours, then painting with thick and thin paint and glazing on top, in the way of the old masters, he has developed a style with detail and atmosphere that is essential in his portrayal of fine wine, fruit and cheeses etc. In a quirky and sometimes conceptual world, Peter makes no apologies for producing traditional subjects where the craftsmanship is evident in every brushstroke. His paintings bring much joy and pleasure to those who understand he has an obvious and underlying love of handling paint and observing his subject using techniques that take many years to acquire. Recently he has changed the view point for some of his paintings, to give them a bold contemporary look. Listings wanted.
