Peter A. Kotka, Stiil Life with Bottle of 1997 Chateau Belgrave Grand Cru Classe, Glass & Cheese Oil on Linen Panel, Signed lower right.

The bottle is a 1995 Chateau d'Ampuis Côte-Rôtie. Reference: From the Unicorn Gallery, UK.

Since 1995, after seeing the work of Estonian artist Olav Maran, Peter decided to review his paintings and started researching ‘Still Life’ painters such as Willem Kalf and De Heem. After experimenting with priming his own panels and canvases with different colours, then painting with thick and thin paint and glazing on top, in the way of the old masters, he has developed a style with detail and atmosphere that is essential in his portrayal of fine wine, fruit and cheeses etc. In a quirky and sometimes conceptual world, Peter makes no apologies for producing traditional subjects where the craftsmanship is evident in every brushstroke.
