PETER KUTTNER

Biography:

Peter Kuttner was born and raised near Boston Mass. And on the rugged coast of Maine. After earning his BFA from Ringling School of Art and Design in Sarasota, Florida. He became Art Director for New Life Films and headed the graphics department of the National Museum of American Illustration. While he enjoyed the creativity of
these dynamic institutions he always found the most satisfaction in making his own, personal artwork. Peter relocated to Arizona and with the turn of a new century, he bravely embarked on a career as an artist. The time that Peter spent living near the beach influenced his subtle palette of cool blues, warm gold's and rich reds. Hues that are complicated by the atmospheric clarity he finds in the arid southwest.  

About his work:

 His excellent training as an illustrator is evident in the dimensional aspects of his paintings. He approaches each canvas with a keen technical acuity while yielding to the spontaneous development of the work. His attention to detail is of primary concern. He hand-finishes each canvas, resolving every painting to a very particular level of complexity. His technical skill, paired with an organic style, and neutral palette captures the tension between city life and the inevitability of the quiet moments to be found there. Kuttner's works include three types of paintings: cityscapes, still life's and abstractions.
