910mm x 1220mm Acrylic on canvasStretched canvas Linked by the use of a high saturate blue pigment, this series explores the way images of nature are used in ornamentation and the rules of visual language. Originally setting out to subvert the ‘Delftware’ pottery style, the core colour palette is inspired by the repetition of blue and white in the visual language of numerous cultures from Delft to Cornwall, Greece to China. Within these rules, subjects such as nature, family, memory, and myth are explored in chaotic, energetic compositions intended to surprise, even shock. The energy each piece transmits is different, and this diversity within a restricted palette has fascinated me in the development of the series. The way an emotional idea can be diffused by the familiarity of form, the way error can enhance beauty. Enjoy FREE SHIPPING on all artwork by Daniel Paul Peterson. Original art, one available.
