PETER WILEMAN | Where Evening Gathers
Oil on Canvas
80 x 80 cms / 31½ x 31½ inches
Signed 'Wileman' (lower right)
Subtle pinks, blues and smoky greys accumulate across the surface, as if light were gently settling into place. Wileman’s technique of building and partially erasing layers creates depth and softness, encouraging prolonged viewing. The composition suggests a threshold moment, where day dissolves into night and atmosphere becomes the defining presence.
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.
