Don Peebles - Relief Construction
Lot Details
Don Peebles (1922-2010) Relief Construction enamel on wooden construction signed, inscribed with title and dated 1972 to reverse 51 x 56 x 9cm depth 'Construction, for me, is not a style but simply a method. Neither my reliefs nor my paintings derive from any strict mathematical basis but are assembled with a free sense of order, more characteristic of the painter, than of the function-influenced architect or designer. The narrative aspects of Art are of less interest to me than the more purely visual and private impulses – if such elements as colour, light, line, form, mass, volume are intimately experienced, they too can result in a very personal statement.' D.E. Peebles: Paintings at the Canterbury Society of Arts in July 1973 exhibition catalogue
