Don Peebles - Untitled

Acrylic on canvas sections on board

Untitled

Don Peebles’s 60 year art career is characterised by constant experimentation and revision. He has never settled on a singular style or aesthetic, and continues to challenge expectations of what a painting is and how it should appear. Untitled is a work that shows the artist moving from one phase to the next, developing his thought processes in physical form.
