About this artwork
This is an acrylic painting on a high quality canvas frame. It is based on my experiences of the city of Cambridge. Although I have visited the city many times this is not a visual record of specific places, or a celebration of a well known structure or familiar architectural motif. This is a city of the memory, the senses and the imagination. You will see the influence of the Cubist and Futurist art movements in the simplification and repetition…
of certain forms and colours. I am particularly interested in the rhythmical and musical qualities inherent in the structure of the painting.

« I believe passionately in the power of art to transform both ourselves, the way we think about the world, and the environment in which we live. »
Peter Corr has always been fascinated by the movement towards abstraction and the simplification of subject matter, form, and color. Most of his works occupy a transitional space between figuration and abstraction. Corr always conveys a tension between representational perspective and the canvas as a two-dimensional design. He does not describe a particular place, rather, he is interested in the role played by experiences, events, feelings, as well as the colors and textures that form the visual backdrop of our lives.
