Peter Healy
'Spring Song I, ' by Peter Healy, Oil Painting on Canvas

2021

About the Item

A cool light blue/gray color field dotted with light orange splattered dots provide the perfect backdrop for Peter Healy's bold organic forms of varying colors and shapes. The forms seem to dance in space with the song of springtime and are reminiscent of abstracted flowers and birds interacting with one another. Dark blue, turquoise, peach and red are the dominant colors of the larger organic forms. Peter Healy is an Irish artist with a background in illustration. These days he works in series and also individual paintings, drawings, and assemblage. His mediums are oil paint, acrylic, ink, pencil, collaged fabric, assembled wood and various 3d objects and paper. “I try to let ideas come to me and sometimes let the pieces speak to me through their creation using editing as part of the process. They are usually colorful and often try to illustrate the contrast of living in the sparsely populated Fermanagh countryside of my youth, and living in the city with a diverse population,” said Healy. Peter has lived in Ireland, England, Amsterdam and Los Angeles and now calls Houston, Texas home where he lives with his wife and two daughters. “These experiences and diverse populations have influenced my work. There are so many ways to represent population architecture and nature, that I am constantly going between mediums to describe these relationships.”-- Peter Healy “A lot of the time the shapes in my paintings and drawings are like characters or individuals trying to coexist in a space on canvas or paper, just like we do in cities. In some series I am with the viewer looking through a window or down a tunnel at forms floating in space. Sometimes the shapes go off the edge; I want the viewer to think “What's around the corner?”, much like we all wonder what’s around the next corner in our everyday lives. I am interested in relationships between the objects I make, movement, landscapes or environments, composition and space. My assemblage work is all about collaging 2d/ 3d forms. A lot of the time its about reusing wood and material to give it a second life. It’s like making a jigsaw puzzle whilst inventing the pieces. When hurricanes happen there is so much material ruined. I wanted to find a way to reuse it and mix it with drawing or painting. It also gives me the opportunity to make unusual shapes. In general, I always love getting lost in paintings, so I want the viewer to do the same. I want to make work that takes people away. The landscapes I looked out across over the years always make me think of the road ahead, distance not yet covered and the possibilities for the future. I try to emulate that feeling in my work.” – Peter Healy

  • 'I'll Be Back, ' by XVALA, Mixed Media Painting
    By XVALA
    Located in Oklahoma City, OK
    'I'll Be Back,' by XVALA is a mixed media painting and colorful screen print with iridescent oil stick painting featuring the theme of the 'New World Order.' It was produced in 2015/16. The phrase 'I'll Be Back' is printed on the top and bottom margins of the work with the words 'New World Order' on the top margin. Three heads are stacked in the center of the canvas with the 'all seeing eye' on the top of the head. XVALA's art illuminates the hidden fallout spawned from our high tech Internet age. His 'Fear Google' campaign exposed the decay of privacy and 'No Delete' used hacked nude celebrity photos to highlight loss of control over personal information. The artist has worked with trash from the homes of Mark Zuckerberg, Steve Jobs, and others, as well as dirt from the graves of George Orwell and Aldous Huxley. The dirt appears in the New World Order collection as part of a pyramidal, 3D printed, living ant farm...
