The Framed trompe l'oeil still life of a dusty bottle of wine, a half-empty wine glass and a small bunch of grapes with a boxed round of French Cheese in the background, the cork lying on its side on a wood table within an alcove. The bottle is a 1995 Chateau d'Ampuis Côte-Rôtie.
Reference:
From the Unicorn Gallery, UK.
Peter has an absolute love of oil painting and especially admires the masters of Dutch Painting of the 17th Century, which is reflected in his own work. 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. His paintings bring much joy and pleasure to those who understand he has an obvious and underlying love of handling paint and observing his subject using techniques that take many years to acquire. Recently he has changed the view point for some of his paintings, to give them a bold contemporary look.
Peter Kotka originals are in private collections all over the world, with some noted collectors. In 2004 Peter was invited to take part in a prestigious Still Life exhibition in California, where he was the bestselling artist in the show. Early 2005 he toured California and Arizona with three successful shows. In October Peter had his first UK ‘One man Show’ following his US success, with a Springtime One man show early 2006 in the UK, and another US tour in August 2006. 2007 an art critic in San Diego wrote ‘the most technically gifted and innovative artist I have seen in the last 10 years’. In 2008 Peter won 2 prizes in Californian exhibitions, best Still Life painting and Runner Up in the Seascape section with a surreal sea/wine piece.
Peter is listed in the latest edition of ‘Artists in Britain since 1945’ a 2 volume edition of who’s who in British Art.

Modern Dutch Master: Peter A. Kotka,
"Still Life with Côte-Rôtie" Trompe l'œil
(c. 1995)
A masterfully executed oil on linen panel still life by the listed British artist Peter A. Kotka (b. 1951). Painted in the Trompe l'œil ("trick of the eye") tradition, this work revives the lighting and technical virtuosity of the 17th-century Dutch Masters.
The composition is set within a dark, shadowed alcove, dramatically illuminating the subject matter to create a sense of depth and atmosphere. A bottle of 1995 Chateau d'Ampuis Côte-Rôtie (a prestigious Rhone wine) stands beside a half-filled glass of red wine, capturing the translucency of the liquid. A soft cheese in a wooden round box, a scattering of grapes in a porcelain bowl, and a cork lying on the rustic wooden ledge complete the scene. The artist's signature is located in the lower right.
Condition: Excellent condition. The colors are vibrant and the surface is stable. Housed in a rustic wooden frame.

Avant le Déjeuner, by Grégoire Mathias – Still Life with Wine Bottles and Glass
Located in PÉRIGUEUX, FR
Avant le Déjeuner (Before Lunch)
Acrylic on canvas board
16 × 24 cm (without frame)
35.5 x 43.5 x 4 cm (with frame)
Signature: Lower left; also inscribed on verso
Condition: Excellent, presented in a gilded frame
In Avant le déjeuner (“Before Lunch”), Grégoire Mathias creates a playful and vibrant still life where bottles of wine, a glass, and a red-checkered cloth are arranged against the backdrop of the sea. The bold shapes and saturated colors lend the work a festive, almost theatrical quality, echoing the traditions of Synthetic Cubism while infusing it with Mathias’s characteristic rhythm and modern eye.
Painted in acrylic on canvas board, the piece is framed in a substantial gilded frame that enhances its presence. Despite its intimate size, the composition radiates with energy, suggesting both the convivial anticipation of a shared meal and the joy of Mediterranean light.
Signed lower left, this work reflects Mathias’s ability to turn everyday objects into striking compositions of color, balance, and narrative.
Perfect For
Collectors of Cubist-inspired still lifes
Interior designers looking for colorful, conversation-piece artworks for kitchens, dining rooms, or entertaining spaces
Buyers seeking affordable yet highly collectible paintings by Mathias
Collector's Insights
