About the Item

Dan Pelonis's "Shotgun Shells on Squiggles" juxtaposes repetition and abstraction to explore themes of cultural oversaturation and the erosion of meaning. Bright red shotgun shells are scattered across a teal background layered with flowing squiggle patterns, creating tension between the rigid verticality of the shells and the undulating backdrop. Rendered with minimal, gestural strokes, the shells maintain their iconic form while suggesting imperfection and decay. The squiggles introduce a sense of movement and distortion, evoking the gradual abstraction of familiar imagery through repetition. This juxtaposition highlights the gradual abstraction of meaning through repetition, aligning with Pelonis's broader exploration of cultural imagery in a media-saturated landscape. The result is a visually engaging work that balances playfulness with deeper introspection. *This work can be framed for an additional $200. Our suggestion; white or natural wood floater frame. About artist: Dan Pelonis uses playful and subversive themes in his pattern composition; generating friction by merging history with modernity. Working within the pop aesthetic Dan’s painting explore the degradation and gradual abstraction of an image when repeatedly painted. The artists choice of subject matter and use of a shadow combine to make works equally striking and thought-provoking. Dan Pelonis pursued an MFA at the New-York Academy of Art and later worked as a studio assistant to Jeff Koons. A recipient of an Elizabeth Greenshields Grant, he has exhibited in North America and abroad. Dan works out of his painting studio located in Toronto, Ontario.
