Spring Art Event at Floren Gallery!

This Spring, Floren Gallery will start the year with a splash, introducing our stable of artists who we will be working with throughout the coming months. These include Peter Wileman, who is the current president of the Royal Institute of Oil Painters.

At Floren, we are honoured to present the work of Peter Wileman. His large-scale compositions have a painterly quality derived from the apparent vigor of the brushstrokes, and give the impression of spontaneous creativity. Peter often explores the effects of light on his subject; seeking atmosphere through light and colour, he works in varying degrees of abstraction.

Peter's work has been recognised with various awards including the Frank Herring award in 2000 and the Cornelissen Prize in 2003 for outstanding work. In 2006 he was awarded 'The Clerc Fowle' gold medal for the most outstanding group of paintings. Awarded the DAS Prize at the Mall Galleries, London in 2007 for a work of distinction, Peter's paintings can be found in private collections worldwide and have been shown on television. His views of Venice are currently in the ‘floating gallery’ on the new P&O Liner, 'The Ventura.'

Peter has exhibited regularly at a number of prestigious art venues including the Royal Society of Marine Artists, the New English Art Club and the Royal Institute of Oil Painters, of which he is now President.

Also showing in the gallery during this introductory exhibition: Peter Kuttner, Brian Jull, Rick Garland, Gerald Green, Stephen Foster, Tina Morgan, Charlotte Cornish, and Dominic Harris.
