Peter and Madeline Powell are a husband and wife team with nearly six decades of experience working side by side in their signature style of photorealism. “Life’s treats and play things from the past and present are what we capture in our paintings. We enjoy taking the little things out of everyday life and giving them the prominence and importance they might have had when we were children. Our paintings evoke the childhood spirit that everyday life has buried deep within us,”they say.

You can now see work by the Powell’s at CK Contemporary. Contact us at [email protected] for a list of available pieces.
