About this artwork
Oil on paper | Ancient Light Series
In Red Sun, Peter Pitout distills a celestial event into a near-minimalist vision, where atmosphere and enigma reign.
A singular crimson orb floats in a blackened sky, evoking both cosmic grandeur and apocalyptic stillness.
Below it, blurred streaks of white and red hint at movement, like scorched light dissolving into ether.
The work balances simplicity with tension—an ancient warning, a final… ember, or a moment of sublime beauty glimpsed through smoke.
Part of the Ancient Light series, this piece reflects Pitout’s signature fascination with light as both phenomenon and metaphor.
Works photographed without plexiglass to avoid reflections.
Works sent with plexiglass installed.

« My work captures abstraction, surrealism and the unpredictable. I trace the paths taken by my subjects throughout the creative process. Each work is unique. Each work, a new destination. »
Drawing from his childhood in Durban, South Africa and a background in industrial art and design, he creates paintings that balance structured forms with surrealist gestures.
His multidisciplinary practice spans oil painting, embroidery, and conceptual research, often exploring themes of light, vibration, and transformation. Pitout has participated in several art residencies in France and abroad, using these immersive experiences to deepen his artistic inquiry and expand his visual language.
For him, the creative process is a return to inner roots—a space for reflection, reconnection, and the evolution of artistic consciousness.
