About the Item

Dan Pelonis’s "Speedboats" combines repetition and abstraction to reflect on motion and cultural memory. The painting depicts rows of minimal red-and-white speedboats gliding against a muted gray background. The bold red hulls stand out sharply, while the faint, hazy shadows soften their presence, creating an interplay between sharpness and subtlety. The simplicity of the forms evokes childlike playfulness while suggesting a deeper commentary on mass production and uniformity. The boats, almost identical, float in a static rhythm that contradicts their implied dynamism, capturing a sense of stillness amid motion. The muted gray tones of the background amplify the vibrant reds, enhancing their symbolic weight while fostering introspection. Encased in a simple natural wood frame, the piece feels timeless, inviting viewers to linger in its contemplative tranquility. 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 explores 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.
