Everard Read are proud to present new works by Peter Kuhfeld.
Peter Kuhfeld was first shown at Everard Read as far back as in 1995, however it was not until ten years later that he officially joined our stable of artists.
Having studied painting at the prestigious Royal Academy Schools under Peter Greenham (CBE, RA), held exhibitions at the Royal Academy, won the Royal Academy of Art Silver Medal and joined the Royal Society of Portrait Painters we are delighted, finally in 2009, to hold our first one man show with him.
Kuhfelds paintings cover a wide range of subjects. He is most well known for his nudes, but this exhibition displays a wide range of subjects most notably those of the great Roman ruins such as the Forum and Hadrian’s Villa. It is Kuhfeld’s technical use of soft light and colour that arrests and captivates us. As his great friend John Ward, who died in 2007, said; Kuhfeld’s work was perhaps summed up in “…the musical term ‘perfect pitch’…He is able to make colours sing and spread air between and beyond his figures.â€
The exhibition opens on Thursday 23rd April at 6.00pm and will be up until 17th May.
