Reflection Section

Description

‘Reflection Section’ is a photograph of the artist’s studio floor, scanned and heavily processed in Photoshop until its original provenance is indistinguishable. Peter wanted to record the collapse of a painting as a way to keep an image moving. To execute this it was important for Peter that the source image came from such a relevant and intimate place as his own studio is. Peter usually starts with a figurative image of the wooden studio floor covered with paint patterns. But then he modifies it into something abstract through layering, sometimes with painting or, in this particular case, with Photoshop. Conceived at the same time as his other Rise Art prints, in this series Peter wanted the explore what he’s termed ‘painting on the move’: the potential collapse or failure of painting as a way to invigorate the work itself, adding the possibility of becoming something new. ‘Reflection Section’ is an Archival Pigment Print on 315 gsm Cotton Rag paper. The edition of 15 hand numbered and embossed prints has been approved by the artist and comes with a signed certificate of authenticity.
