PETER WILEMAN | Mists of Morning Light
Oil on Canvas
50 x 60 cms / 19¾ x 23½ inches
Signed 'Wileman' (lower left)
Veils of pale blue, pearl and soft apricot drift across the surface of Peter Wileman's Mists of Morning Light, evoking the first light lifting from water. Wileman works wet-into-wet, allowing pigments to merge and bloom, while scraped passages and translucent glazes create depth beneath the calm exterior. The horizon is suggested rather than defined, inviting the viewer into a moment of quiet suspension where atmosphere, reflection and light become the true subject.
Known for his dazzling abstracted oil landscapes, Peter Wileman’s style is bold and vigorous, both in the use of colour and handling of paint, as he explores the effect of light on his subject. Seeking atmosphere through light and colour, he works in varying degrees of abstraction.
Wileman’s aim is to capture that elusive quality of light, that only a shimmering sunset, dawn of a new day, dazzling sparkle of reflection off both sea and river presents to one who is prepared to both look and see.
Over the last two decades Peter Wileman has exhibited regularly at a number of prestigious art venues including the Royal Society of Marine Artists, the New England Art Club and the Royal Institute of Oil Painters of which he is an associate member. He has worked in the field of art and design for over forty years.
