Icelandic artist Pétur Gautur is well-known in Iceland for his still-life paintings. In last weekend's edition of The Sunday Times Magazine, a painting by Gautur can be spotted in a photograph from Irish designer's Orla Keily's living room.
Kiely is known for her unique retro prints and designs, womenswear, accessories and homeware and her home was featured in the Style section of the magazine.
"Kiely bought a couple of my paintings three or four years ago," says Pétur Gautur to mbl.is. "I had no idea of who she was, or them, I should say, as she was accompanied by her husband."
He adds that he was pleased to see the painting in her home as he was now aware that she was a great art collector. "It's therefore nice to see the painting in her private home."
