About the Item

A solitary figure juxtaposed against a vivid, striped backdrop is the subject of Peter Lupkin's painting titled "Contrast". Technical elements enhance the overall aesthetic of the piece such as the thickly applied paint, the broad brush strokes to create the striped wallpaper, the use of an inner light to illuminate the figure. All these come together in this relaxed portrait. The piece is framed in a simple black wooden frame measuring 21h x 17w x 1.5d inches. Peter Lupkin Contrasts oil on canvas 20h x 16w in 50.80h x 40.64w cm PLU079 The artwork I create is a visual statement of my moral philosophy. The language I use to convey this philosophy in my pieces is one of traditional symbolism, this being indoctrinated into my personality through an apprenticeship into a traditional stained glass studio at the age of 14 and continuing to the present day. I seek to create scenes and narratives that are at the same time realistic and fantastical. I often use pre-existing stories when I am developing an image. I will then take these narratives and expose a less studied side of them, or try to bring them into a contemporary context. Ultimately my goal is to use modern imagery in conjunction with traditional techniques and connect them with contemporary society, showing both the narrative’s and the method’s continued relevance.
