About the Item
Peggy Cyphers “Underground Passage” 2018-21 acrylic, sand, gold leaf on canvas 91x68”. Cyphers incorporates sand painting into the figuration of this large scale abstract painting in earthtone greys, browns and blacks with crimson, scarlet and pastel reds. Cyphers utilizes calligraphic brushstrokes to create organic abstract forms.
This painting was featured in a solo exhibition of paintings at the Front Room Gallery entitled, "Passages" This exhibition showcases the unparalleled talent of Peggy Cyphers in capturing the intricate beauty of the environment in her paintings. Cyphers seamlessly integrates elements from diverse painting traditions into her large-scale abstract landscape paintings. Drawing inspiration from Chinese landscape paintings, Native American art, and Post-War abstraction, Cyphers creates dynamic and evocative artworks that bridge cultural and artistic boundaries. The fluid strokes and pouring with sand and paint have roots in the painting traditions of Chinese landscape paintings, Native American Art and PostWar Abstraction. Her large-scale abstract landscape paintings serve as meditations on the interconnectedness of cultures and ecosystems, inviting viewers to contemplate the beauty and fragility of the natural world. Cyphers' work exemplifies the transformative power of art to transcend boundaries and forge connections across time and space.
With an ethereal blend of color, texture, and form, Peggy Cyphers transports viewers into a realm where the boundaries between art and nature blur seamlessly. Her monumental canvases, often reminiscent of canyons viewed from below, beckon audiences to explore the depths of their imagination while contemplating the fragility and grandeur of our natural world.
Through her distinctive artistic language, Peggy Cyphers invites viewers to contemplate the environmental challenges facing our planet today. Her burnt ochre cliff walls and contrasting blue skies serve as a poignant reminder of the interconnectedness between humanity and the Earth, urging us to embrace our role as stewards of the environment.
Central to Cyphers' work is her fascination with the deep primordial past—the origins of life and the evolutionary processes that have shaped the Earth's ecosystems over millions of years. Through her art, she delves into the mysteries of ancient landscapes, drawing inspiration from geological formations, prehistoric flora and fauna, and the cyclical rhythms of nature.
In her exploration of entropy, Cyphers confronts the concept of disorder and decay as inherent aspects of the natural world. She acknowledges the impermanence of existence and the inevitable cycles of creation and destruction that characterize the evolutionary history of the Earth. By embracing entropy as a fundamental force, she encourages viewers to confront the fragility and resilience of life on our planet.

“Silver Spider Spirit”acrylic and silver leaf on mylar framed abstract painting
By Peggy Cyphers
Located in New York, NY
This abstract composition in blue and brown black earthtones is created with a unique perspective which gives a feeling of looking up at a sky or looking down into merging paths of water. Cyphers use of silver leaf gives the central forms a reflective glow, which balances well with her masterful brushwork and mark making. This painting has a meditative quality that draws the viewer in and allows for introspective thought.
