About this artwork
Golden Tide is a large abstract painting in terms of technique, style and intention. It is a celebration of the flat, open flood plains of the Cambridgeshire Fenlands. Heavy impasto glazes give depth and luminosity as light is reflected through the layers of wax, bitumen and metallic paint. The lustrous quality or sheen is achieved through a combination of burnishing the wax surface and interleaved layers of metallic gold paint. A variety of tools…
and implements have been used to create incisions, marks and subtle textures that can be read as inland water, earth and sky. The reference to three-dimensional space and linear perspective is designed to create a subtle counterpoint to the pictorial flatness of the Fenland washes.

« 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.
