Overview
Peter Kettle, born in 1987, creates oil and mixed media paintings by immersing himself in landscape. He considers himself as a documentarian and expressive landscape artist. He is fascinated by the exploration of pilgrimage traditions around sacred mountain landscapes worldwide, combining expedition-based research with painting and documentary work: “Through these projects, I collaborate with filmmaker Alex Green, local guides, and community organisations, documenting each journey through sketches, film, and fieldwork”.
Each year, Peter takes on planned journeys around his native Wales and remote regions of the world. His previous expeditions have led him on a personal journey across the desert plains of Patagonia and to the Andean Foothills to retrace the steps of the Welsh Settlers. Peter’s following project embarked on a physically challenging environmental expedition hiking to Everest Basecamp. In 2023, he spent 3 weeks painting across Japan, hiking ancient pilgrimages in Hokkaido and to the summit of Mt.Fuji. With each project he aims to celebrate the local stories, people and landscape through paintings, collage and documentary film. In March of this year he travelled to Kenya where he ascended Mount Kenya to Point Lenana. He then carried out fieldwork across Amboseli National Park and Mlango Farm on sustainable agriculture and Maasai land stewardship in the Kilimanjaro region. This new work is being exhibited at the Wykeham Gallery in May 2026.
Where a story captivates Peter, he will record elements and nuances of the space to rework into ambitiously scaled and expressive paintings using paint and other media poured, rubbed and splashed onto the canvas. Having worked exclusively in oils, his technique has broadened to incorporate the use of collage, inks and shellac. His paintings give the impression of well-worn exterior walls, buffeted and corroded over time. The effect is a characterful, well weathered surface, stony and granular that is at the same time luminous with dramatic light.
Peter started his career in Wales and now lives and works in Bristol. He was voted in as an elected Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts (FRSA) and the Royal Cambrian Academy (RCA). He has featured on the BBC News and published in The Guardian and Money Week as ‘One to Watch’. His work is held in private collections internationally.
