About the Item
She is the quintessential embodiment of love, feminine allure, and the coming of new life. The goddess Venus is undoubtedly one of the most widely-referenced divinities of the classical world. The goddess of love, sex, and fertility has also become an icon of female beauty and sensuality, but her depiction can also be interpreted as a celebration of the human form. Here, artist Peter Lupkin has taken a very modern view of Venus. Technical elements enhance the overall aesthetic of the piece such as the thickly applied paint, the broad brush strokes to create the bright blue backdrop, and the use of an inner light to illuminate the figure. All these come together in this relaxed, modern portrait of Venus.

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.

Peter Lupkin
The artwork I create is a visual response to my upbringing and influences. My work is a combination of historical symbolism and modern experience. Historical symbolism has been indoctrinated into my visual language through an apprenticeship into a multi generational stained glass studio at the age of 14 and continuing to the present day. With this as a background language I embrace modern concerns, methods and techniques and seek to connect my own experiences with contemporary society.
