A selection of over 80 works is on show from some of the most exciting artists in Europe.

From Thursday, the 22 of September to Friday, the 7 of October

Roy and Jason would like to invite you to the preview party of Colin Fraser's exhibition, on Wednesday the 21st of September, 2011.

Estelle Lovatt wrote the following piece about Colin Fraser in Art of England:

 

 

Colin Fraser is known to us for his serene, sensitive and intensely atmospheric still lives and interiors.

The key to Colin Fraser's work is light, notably sunlight and the absence of it - one could almost say that Colin Fraser is fascinated by it - by the way that the shadows fall and the moods that it creates. The light that he depicts has as much of a presence as his meticulously detailed subject matter.

"Glowing from within" is the only term sufficient to describe the high degree of luminosity and light sensitivity of Colin Fraser's work  "Higher Ground". Having the effect of true light coming to us from a vibrant landscape -  we find ourselves looking through the window expecting to feel sunlight on our faces.

We have several works by Colin Fraser on view in the gallery, of which "Higher Ground" is one. To arrange a viewing, call us on 020 7494 2021.

Petleys is proud to invite you to an exhibition of paintings from the artists studio which will be a taste of forthcoming exhibitions.

Leafing through our catalogue, you will see recent works by Edward Beale, Colin Fraser, Yuri Krotov, Peter Kuhfeld, Roy Petley, Vicente Romero, Igor Shipilin and Martin Yeoman.  
We see views of the Thames by Edward Beale – he has most recently been painting from the Old Battersea Firestation and amongst his works can be seen views of the Houses of Parliament and Big Ben. Amongst this collection of his works are works from the South of France and London.

With Colin Fraser we have his intriguing interiors where we can see the subtle play of light and shade and how it interacts with a myriad of objects, living, stone, glass, material and flowers.

Yuri has just arrived with all his new work for his exhibition in October. Views of children enjoying their holidays, summer lunches, light and shade (his passion!) and beautiful young ladies instil us with a sense of good feeling and optimism for the Summer.
We have a soupcon of masterly interiors by Peter Kuhfeld:, nudes and form executed in his studio with the reflections of light between different angles of mirrors leave us with a sense of wonder.

Roy Petley continues to delight us with his most impassioned inspirational subjects, new works from his favourite painting spots in Paris, Venice and the Dordogne. Dappled light, bustling summer sun and good feeling flow from his paintings directly to our souls, filling us and enveloping us in a sense of warm euphoria.
Vicente Romero continues to impress us with his sense of light and colour in his pastels, with a depth of detail that is not immediately apparent to the eye we see forms and figures, almost in an ethereal light that make us want to step into the vibrant works end enjoy the way of life ourselves.

The uniquely painted and textured works of Igor Shipilin create a sense of difference to the eye, with two new works of the Russian countryside in summer.

Martin Yeoman continues to inspire us, with his masterly draughtsmanship, gentle lines and soft colours we are caressed into his paintings to appreciate the magnificence of his works. Hazy views of landscapes, still life’s, seascapes with figures these paintings move all of us.

We hope that you manage to come and enjoy a glass of champagne as you will need to see these paintings because they are so much more than our catalogue can portray. The exhibition will contain around 60 works.

Petleys.
