John Peace Paintings
The painting shown here is called “Little Steamer on the Wear” & was painted by John in oils on board in 1971. It was sold through the Bondgate Gallery in Alnwick & is one of six bought by the same collector who got in touch recently to let us know about the works she owns. It was so exciting to see them & we’re indebted to her & to others who’ve been in touch with details of the works they own.
This oil painting is of John’s wife RoseMary trying to get warm in front of a Godin stove. They were staying with family in Beautheil in Northern France over Christmas 1991 in an old cafe which was freezing cold! This is another painting which we’ve lost track of & would love to have an up to date record of as part of the information we’re gathering for the catalogue raisonne.
If you can help please email info@johnpeacepaintings.co.uk Thank you!
Can you help us to find the lucky owner of this lovely painting? It is called “Lemington Pit-Houses” & was painted in oils on board in 1969.
John's family is currently working with South Shields Museum & Art Gallery to mount the first exhibition, since his death in 2017, of a selection of his work. The exhibition is due to open in October 2020 & to run for a period of around six months.
We would love to hear from anyone who has any information relating to John’s work. We are planning a Catalogue Raisonné to record his extensive output. In the last year we have discovered the whereabouts of 98 works that we had no previous knowledge of. We do know of many other paintings - through bills of sale, old exhibition catalogues, photographs, reviews, newspaper articles and the like - that we would love to be able to track down. Hopefully they are safe & owned by collectors who are still thoroughly enjoying them ! If you can help, please email us on info@johnpeacepaintings.co.uk
