Solomon Fine Art is delighted to host an exhibition of new works in bronze by Irish Sculptor Peter Killeen.  

 

This new body of work is inspired by medieval bestiary manuscripts popular in Europe in the Middle Ages. These illuminated volumes contained illustrations and natural histories of animals and mythical beasts, often accompanied by moral or religious lessons in the form of a story.  Killeen’s immensely appealing and timeless representations of birds and wild animals have a distinctive and very particular charm, each warmly animated and softly rounded in form with carefully worked, richly coloured patinas.
