Peter Goodfellow is an English artist who fell in love with Scotland.
Fortunately his wife was also captivated by this country and has a
great understanding of his consuming passion. The viewer of his
landscapes sees this passion at a glance. The vibrant colours
are arresting and the mood which is set can bring a lump to the throat. Inspired by art movements as far reaching as the early Italian Renaissance and German Expressionism, Peter Goodfellow's paintings divine a rich artistic heritage. Living in a remote glen in North East Scotland, Goodfellow paints both figurative and landscape works. For Goodfellow, colour is the all important ingredient in his oils and water-colours. He declares himself to be an 'out and out colourist',and often paints the same subject repeatedly to distil colour and form. "Raw colour can capture a sense of time and create a sense of mood and atmosphere" believes Goodfellow. Often looking to the landscape as a subject matter for his paintings, Goodfellow deftly describes through his rich vocabulary of colour the extraordinary beauty and power of the natural world. . |
