Born to Bloom Silhouette by Christopher Peter
Contemporary, Mixed Media Silhouettes
Unique materials, such as handmade papers, are combined with traditional acrylic and oil paints to form this striking female silhouette: Born to Bloom Silhouette by Christopher Peter. Using classic silhouettes, he strategically underlays them with collage, paint pouring, mixed media, and unconventional materials like handmade papers, marbled textiles, vintage roadmaps, and repurposed book pages. Hence, he himself refers to them as “paintings on top of paintings” because that is precisely what they are.
Medium: Acrylic, oil, and handmade paper on canvas
Size: 40″ W x 48″ H
Artwork is accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity and Gallery Appraisal.
Commissions are available based on this artwork.
Christopher Peter’s work adds vibrancy, pattern, texture, and life to living spaces. For instance, he is known for using unconventional materials, and his mixed media silhouettes blur the line between portraiture and vibrant abstract painting. Thus, his work is a reflection of his ultimate goal – using art to explore the relationship between us and how we experience our surroundings.
Christopher Peter creates his works completely by hand, and he lets the painting guide his process. First, he develops the entire prep layer. Then, the underpainting is next. Following the underpainting, he adds layers of paint and collage until the piece starts to come together. Finally, he renders the portrait and the negative space. Furthermore, Christopher tends to gravitate towards blues and metallics in his works. For example, he likes to add subtle shimmer to his paintings so that the they come alive under different lighting conditions. View his stunning works in person at Art Leaders Gallery.
