About the Item
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.

Height: 18 inches (45.72 cm)

Historical
Artistic Context:
Peter Kotka is a celebrated contemporary artist listed in Artists in Britain since 1945. Since 1995, Kotka has dedicated his practice to emulating the techniques of the Dutch Golden Age painters like Willem Kalf and Jan Davidsz. de Heem.
Unlike many modern painters, Kotka prepares his own panels and utilizes traditional glazing techniques—applying multiple thin layers of oil paint—to achieve a luminous, enamel-like finish. His work has been exhibited internationally, notably achieving "Best Selling Artist" status at a major Still Life exhibition in California (2004) and winning the "Best Still Life" award in 2008.

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.
