RHODES is proud to present Well Water, a solo exhibition by Irish artist Peter Doyle. The exhibition follows his sold-out debut with the gallery Public House (2025) and seeks to extend his ongoing interest in observation and the quiet construction of everyday scenes.

Doyle’s paintings are grounded in looking. They begin from fleeting moments rather than staged narratives. Snapshots of interiors and fragments of daily life are caught just long enough to be noticed before they pass. Within the works people appear together without necessarily forming clear relationships. Proximity is present, but meaning between figures remains open and unresolved. As Doyle has noted, “I like to keep things quite open - I don’t want to over-explain the work,” a position that reflects the way his paintings resist closure. Images are not directed towards fixed interpretations but allowed to remain in a state of uncertainty.
