Peter Hopker’s original oil on canvas titled 'Feuilles' (1996), 68 x 54 cm, France, from the 1990–2000 period, hand-signed, original edition, sold with a custom frame and weighing 3.0 kg.
Description from the seller
- Oil on canvas. Original canvas. Signed. Titled on the back. Exquisite hyperrealist technique, a very subtle representation of the aquatic medium.
- On the bright shores of the south of France, the painting by British artist Peter Hopker transcends mere coastal or river landscape to become a dense study of matter and light refraction. His canvases, meticulously worked plein air with a rich, expressive paste, capture the constant flicker of the water, where the shadows of Mediterranean vegetation and sun glints dissolve into a vibrant mosaic of color. There is in his gaze a poetics of flow and calm: liquid surfaces not only reflect the surroundings, but refract the noonday atmosphere into compositions where the solidity of the brushstroke contrasts with the fleeting nature of water, composing a dense, serene, and deeply lyrical tribute to the channels of the French midday.
- Dimensions of the image without frame: 42 x 56 cm / 54 x 68 cm with exclusive custom frame.
