About this artwork
This is a cold wax mixed media painting based on Peter Corr's experience of the Fenland landscape. It is not a visual record of a specific place, or a celebration of a well known structure or familiar location. Peter is interested in surfaces and textures and the way materials can be combined to create tactile and evocative qualities. He uses cold wax which he applies in thin layers or heavy impasto. It can be scored, scoured and burnished like…
a rich stoneware ceramic glaze; it can left dry, broken, fragmented and uneven.

« 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.
