Peter Newcombe Art

English, 1943-1991
Peter Newcombe was born in Blisworth, Northamptonshire in 1943. He studied illustration and etching at Northampton School of Art, where he won a travelling scholarship. His work first came to public attention in 1968 with a set of twelve large drawings illustrating ‘The Shepherds Calendar’ by John Clare, which were featured on BBC television. In 1970 he was awarded a major art grant from the Elizabeth T. Greenshield Foundation in Canada. At this time he began exhibiting widely in London including at the Royal Academy, the Royal Society of British Artists, and the Royal Institute of Painters in Watercolour. In 1979 he designed a set of flower stamps for the Post Office. The subject matter of Peter Newcombe’s paintings is gathered almost entirely from the area of Northamptonshire in which he lived. His paintings are intense studies of landscape and flora in all seasons, and he had a particular interest in old buildings and wild flowers.

Located in Genève, GE

A charming and finely executed still life painted in oil on board, signed A. Bally in the upper right corner and bearing an inscription in the upper left. The composition presents a carefully arranged group of everyday objects rendered with warmth and sensitivity: a large copper basin, a green glazed earthenware jug, a glass tumbler, a ceramic vessel, a small knife, and several ripe peaches distributed across a white tablecloth. The artist skillfully balances form, color, and light to create a harmonious and timeless domestic scene. The copper bowl serves as the focal point of the composition, its rich reddish-brown surface reflecting subtle highlights and demonstrating the painter’s particular attention to texture and materiality. The surrounding objects are depicted with equal care, each contributing to a quiet dialogue of shapes and volumes. The luminous peaches introduce vibrant accents of red and orange that enliven the otherwise restrained palette of earthy browns, soft creams, olive greens, and warm neutrals. Executed with confident brushwork and a keen understanding of tonal relationships, the painting recalls the enduring tradition of European still-life painting. The work celebrates ordinary household objects through careful observation and thoughtful composition, transforming familiar forms into an elegant study of color, light, and balance. The neutral background and uncluttered arrangement lend the composition a modern simplicity while preserving the classical qualities associated with traditional nature morte painting. The result is an inviting and highly decorative work that would complement both traditional and contemporary interiors. Still Life Painting, Oil on Board, Signed A.
