PETER WILEMAN | Oceans of Echoes

Oil on Canvas
100 x 100 cms / 39½" x 39½
 
This original oil painting by Peter Wileman depicts an abstract seascape. 
 
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. Working exclusively in oils, the medium most adaptable to changes of light and mood, he evokes atmosphere through light and colour through varying degrees of abstraction. Wileman’s work is reminiscent of the great master Joseph Mallord William Turner through its atmospheric quality. His work has a superb energy, with paint applied in washes and also with areas of impasto. The foregrounds are complex, but not disctracting to the subject within his work.
