Pieter Gutter is already fascinated for years by a realistic painting style. The choice of subjects is varied, such as: old toys, books, glass, (sometimes archaeological finds), advertising material and signs, etc. Piet Gutter brings the objects on panel to life by paying a lot of attention to the composition of the objects. Colour, light spread, background and contrasts are carefully weighed and put next to each other to come to a fascinating picture. This makes it possible to represent the work realistically with characteristic wear and tear or other time accents, among other things. This brings up nostalgic feelings and emotions. The paintings by Piet Gutter are in the collections of, amongst others, museums for instance RAIL-TOY Doornkaat, CSM, etc. and domestic and international private collectors.
