EEEHHHH

Peploe was a Scottish colourist who studied at the Edinburgh college of Art. To study art more in depth he moved to Paris, France to complete his training. On his return to Edinburgh he decided to create an art studio of his own for other future hopeful artists to study in. He enjoyed working with art studios and decided to develop young artists skills by changing the location of his studio every five years or so.
During his time in France he was greatly influenced by many French painters such as Cézanne, Manet and the cubists. Peploe admired their use of impressionism within their work. For example their use of dark tone and limited variations of colour but also their strong fluent brushwork influenced his early work. Many of these techniques can be seen in Peploe’s Still Life images, these great artists noticeably influenced his use of dark lines outlining objects within many of his paintings.
Peploe’s style seemed to bring still life back to popularity once again with Scottis...
