About this artwork
This is essentially an abstract painting but one based on my experience of cycling along hedgerows in the country lanes of East Anglia. The intense light of the sun flickers rhythmically through the dense thicket of mysterious and silhouetted shapes in the late evening sun. The influence of the Cubists and Futurists, with their emphasis on simultaneity of vision, multiple perspectives and intersecting viewpoints can be clearly seen. Iridescent metallic…
paint creates shards of reflective golden light on the surface of the painting. Areas of paint are scraped back or applied with a scumbling technique to enhance the textural range of the work.

« 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.
