"Eastern Ascents"
This exhibition showcases recent work by Peter Kettle. In May of this year Peter travelled to Japan and “The Japan Project - Paintings and Film” was born. The project celebrates and looks at how the Japanese honour their land through ancient pilgrimages and the arts. Over the course of 3 weeks with his roll of canvas, easel and companions, Peter travelled to the northern island of Hokkaido and mainland Honshu to explore Japan's tribal roots, its myriad of heritage sites and to climb Japan's revered volcanoes and landscapes nicknamed 'the playground of the Gods'. This collection of oils and collages is the fruit of his labours.
