by Peter Kelly NEAC RBA (1931 – 2019)

Peter Kelly's paintings displayed his mastery of light. His preference for a limited palette of muted, tonal colours, occasionally warmed by brighter accents, was reminiscent of the Dutch and Scandinavian Schools (in particular Vilhelm Hammershoi who he greatly admired).  Peter painted interiors, landscapes and still life. His treatment of architecture showed the fine Classical draughtsmanship which characterised his work. He explored the world of empty rooms, mysterious corridors, atmospheric canals and ancient silent churches. Peter’s works are invariably paintings of stillness, of moments suspended in time.  His art was one of subtle understatement which demanded and rewarded quiet contemplation.
