“ My painting is all about light and how we see it and react to it. It is what drives artists on. It is why most of us paint. Yet light can be as elusive as a wisp of smoke as we try to capture it in all its many moods. My style is light and fast. My brush flashes and flickers across the canvas as if to echo the dabs of light and shade that make up the lambent motif. My brush is never still. For me, painting is as much a part of the day as eating and sleeping. In fact, it’s more important than that, more like breathing! I could not imagine a single day passing without talking about, reading about, or actually taking part in some kind of activity concerning art. Like a moth is drawn to a flame, a painter is drawn to the light, and although I have tried to express myself with painting in many different forms, mediums and styles over the years, my path has lead me inexorably, like so many others before me, to try and 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” .

Peter Wileman

“Peter Wileman is one of the finest all round artists in the UK today, and is best known today for bold and vigorous landscapes in oil. He has a rare ability to light up a canvas. He works in varying degrees of abstraction and is able to capture atmosphere, that most difficult of artistic goals, through the brilliant use of colour. "

The Rt. Hon. Michael Portillo

"Peter Wileman is a master of light. His paintings simply sizzle with colour and brilliance. He has a special ability to convey the atmosphere of a scene in a way that brings joy to the heart. Always exciting, uplifting and inspirational, Peter truly represents the very best in English landscape painting."

Malcolm Allsop .

Founder of Townhouse Films…. Fine art instructional DVD’s and former Director of Programmes, Anglia TV.

The Creative Day...

Over the years I have discovered that I work better at some times of the day than others and that my creative energy is not a 9 to 5 commodity! For this reason, a typical working day for me starts early - I am usually in my studio by 7am. This is the time when I work on paintings in progress, refining the images to achieve the precise effects I need to communicate the particular subject. Then after a short break for lunch I work on new compositions. I find this is the most productive time of day for me, when I am best able to give full concentration to my painting without any distractions. This period requires a great deal of energy however, and when 4 o'clock arrives I am usually ready to stop for the day - and start looking forward to that Vodka and Tonic... Of course I also spend a great deal of my working life out and about; while I love to paint locally, I have also travelled extensively around the UK and Europe in search of inspiration.

The Creative Impulse...


For me inspiration comes from confrontation with nature which demands a response; a sunset, a heavy shower, powdered snow, sunrise over a loch, any or all of these elements might dictate the form that the response will take. I contemplate the landscape with amazement as it changes hourly, yet remains fundamentally the same. This is a concept I love to explore in my paintings - a blazing sunset reflected in a calm sea carries the implication of impending darkness, while heavy clouds in an overcast sky might predict an imminent storm...


I have painted since childhood, so I have a long history of creative influences; the two most lasting however have been Fred Cuming RA and Ken Howard RA.

The Creative Process...


I have always been attracted to coasts and seascapes in general, as I love the sense of infinity and endless searching that they give me. The subject of my next work will usually come to me when I am out by the sea, feeling at one with nature and the elements, and at this time I know what direction the composition will take. Back in my studio the painting begins to take shape in reality, and I aim to recreate both what I have seen and my own emotional response to it. I prefer to paint using oil as I find that this is the medium most adaptable to changes of light and mood.

Background...

Peter was born in 1946 in Middlesex. On leaving school he went straight into his first job as a studio junior for a card company, where his innate artistic talent was recognised. Here he spent five years studying lettering and design - his first artistic training - which gave him a solid grounding in colour awareness and formal structure. Peter then moved on to become art editor on a number of magazines, until finally he tired of the rat-race and set himself up as a freelance illustrator. His years of experience stood him in good stead, covering as they did, all aspects of design and illustration, from greeting cards and posters through to portraits and Limited Edition Prints. Working freelance gave Peter the opportunity to concentrate on his painting, and he has produced a substantial body of highly expressive work inspired by Britain's coves and harbours. His large-scale compositions have a painterly quality derived from the apparent vigour of the brushstrokes and the impression of spontaneous creativity, which make them both dramatic and uplifting. Peter's work has been recognised with various awards including the Frank Herring award at the Mall Galleries in London and the Cornellisen Prize for Outstanding Work 2002. Over the last six years he 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 now holds the position of president.
