Peter Buchman "Heart" Enamel and Resin on Wood with Gold Leaf Frame, 2015

Contemporary artist Peter Buchman's "Heart" enamel and resin on wood with a gold leaf frame. It’s part of an ongoing series of work titled 'Organic Still Life's. This ambiguous piece gets inspiration from both Abstract Impressionism and Pop Art. Peter starts the process with his own images inspired by art-historical sources that he has collected over the years. He then layers materials such paint, resin, and putty until his object has some sort of character. As an artist Peter finds it hard to plan the initial outcome, but as long as he finds some kind of macabre beauty that straddles many of his working ideas - then he knows he has a finished piece of art. Signed and dated on verso. Additional pieces of Peter Buchman fine art available through Highland Park, please contact the dealer for more information.
