Peter Kelly contemporary paintings demonstrate meticulous austere draughtsmanship. Kelly paints interiors, landscapes and still life always displaying an exquisite mastery of light and shade.
The preference of Peter Kelly for a calm tonal palette and mastery of contrasted light gives his paintings an aura of quiet contemplative restraint reminiscent of the Dutch and Scandinavian Schools of Art.
Peter Kelly is the recipient of many art prizes and awards, most recently the RBA Exhibition 2004 where he won the Most Creative Painting Prize.
In addition to Red Rag British Art Gallery Peter Kelly has exhibited at other leading British Art Galleries. Each painting at Red Rag is sourced from the Peter Kelly artist studio and like all Red Rag British art and Contemporary art it can be shipped worldwide.
