Signed 'Wileman' (lower left)
In Surface and Silence, Peter Wileman creates a moment of pure stillness within a field of light and colour. Layers of blue drift into one another like mist over water, while flashes of coral and orange pulse softly beneath the surface. The vast composition invites quiet contemplation, an exploration of mood rather than place. Here, abstraction becomes language - silence is painted, not heard. The work captures the equilibrium between serenity and energy that defines Wileman’s art.
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.
