Peter Arvidson Post Modern Modernist American Painter 'the Lovers" 1993, Oil

About the Item

An original oil on canvas painting by listed Contemporary artist Peter Arvidson. The thick imposto and color choices create a whimsical but striking presence on the wall. Titled "The Lovers" and dated 1993 this is the perfect work to warm up your home Inspired by Milton Avery and Van Gough this wonderful unique painting is a conversation starter for any collector. and artist, Peter Arvidson built his reputation with his unique style of naif representation combined with jewel-like colors and imagery reminiscent of the works of Paul Klee. Arvidson's works have always displayed a highly developed sense of color as well as great sophistication in the color harmonies he creates. His recent pieces tend toward child-like renderings of patchwork countrysides exploring the concept of "home" and that care-free existence that is experienced in youth. These panoramic landscapes are likely influenced from countrysides glimpsed from road trips through the years. Rural farmlands with fields of color, playgrounds with rickety swing sets, pull wagons, floating trees and little cubby houses become icons for these dream worlds. They are idealized landscapes far away from electronic trappings and noisy chaos.
