About the Item

Watercolor, acrylic, and gesso on paper by New York artist Peter Opheim, titled "Tent," created in 2008. This signed original work measures 48 x 30 inches and represents an important period in Opheim's development — before his widely recognized Neo-Pop figurative work, when he was working purely in abstraction. This is one of the largest and most ambitious works on paper in the series, and one of the most visually complex. The composition is structured in two distinct registers stacked vertically. The upper half is architectural and layered, built from collaged panels of warm ochre, grey, sage green, and rust that overlap and interlock like fragments of a city map, with white and pale lavender forms pushing through from beneath. The lower half shifts into something more organic and exuberant, a warm golden ground alive with biomorphic shapes in dusty lavender, white, teal, and green that tumble across the surface with loose, confident energy. Together the two halves feel like a conversation between structure and freedom, order and improvisation. Opheim is a recipient of the Pollock-Krasner Foundation Grant and the New York Foundation for the Arts Fellowship, and has exhibited in over 50 shows across North America, Europe, and Asia. His work is held in numerous public and private collections. This piece is in new condition — undamaged and showing no signs of use. Signed by the artist on the verso. A rare large-scale example of Opheim's early abstract practice, now increasingly sought after as his figurative work commands growing international attention.
