Peter Collis
Born in London, Peter Collis studied at Epsom College of Art and moved to Ireland in 1969. He exhibited at the RA, the RHA, Oireachtas amongst other venues. Desmond McAvock in The Irish Times, 1985 wrote: "Although one can always recognise the scene, it is the treatment that makes a Peter Collis landscape so instantly recognisable and individual. Like Cezanne he is really more interested in the structure of his scenes than in their transitory appearance, so that it is difficult to discover their season or time. He can bind his observation into a cohesive tightly controlled but always sensitive design." Collis was elected an associate of the RHA in 1990 and a full member in 1993. www.whytes.ie
