Peter Husband
I'm Leaving, a COVID abstract in acrylic paint, oil pastel and found newsprint

2023

About the Item

I'M LEAVING is an abstract painting by Peter Husband in acrylic paint, oil pastel, found newsprint and modeling paste on stretched canvas. It measures 30 x 24". The artist has stated that "this painting is an act of resistance and resignation all at once. COVID came and COVID (more or less) left, and as it leaves it is taking some things with it – people, lifestyles, habits, rituals, relationships, behaviors taken for granted – we are all marked by its passing." The black figure at bottom right of the canvas is leaving and taking the building with it. Media reports in the form of headlines, charts and graphs can only point and exclaim. And what might be the globe entire, in the center of the canvas, looks half shredded. While the total picture is one of chaos, it's a chaos we're adapting to. Peter Husband is a self-taught Canadian artist with equal passion in the worlds of technology, the great outdoors and cottage life, and Canadiana. His paintings are in collections in Canada, the United States and Mexico. A solo show of his work will be presented by Gagné Contemporary gallery in Toronto, Canada in 2023.

"Abstract Composition (Blue, Amber and Green)" Mixed Media Painting on Paper
By Suki Maguire
Located in New York, NY
This piece is an abstract composition done with mixed media, oil and acrylic paints on paper. The artist explores an incredible world filled with color and expressive brushstrokes. The lines and texture create a mature abstract composition as Suki Maguire has been painting in this field since the 1970s. Her joy is the expression and we can find these notes displayed vividly in this piece. This piece comes displayed in a modern light wood floating frame under glass. Art measures 9 x 6 in Frame measures 17 x 12.25 in There is a great potential for discovery in Maguire's world of symbols, but a passing glance will not do, you have to allow your gaze to linger on this part and that of each painting so that your subconscious will have the opportunity to retrieve the elusive forms that seem to be hiding within the more obvious shapes. This holds true even in those works that incorporate letters of the Korean or Latin alphabet, which serve as glyphs bearing some symbolic meaning that goes beyond the mere representation of sound. She has exhibited internationally in Seoul, Nantucket, New York, and Italy. Her styles and materials have ranged from realism to abstract, from water and oil colors to acrylics and coffee grounds.
