The Race | 24" x 20"

About the Artwork

The Race is a 24" x 20" acrylic painting by Peter Wyse created on birch panel with painted white edges. Wyse employs his honed technique of layering, starting with deep, dark underpaintings that establish a foundation of shadow and depth. Upon this, he carefully builds lighter layers, allowing the colours to pop and the forms to emerge with a sense of volume and vitality. The pod of orcas gliding through waves, their black and white forms sharply contrasting with the soft blue of the water and the sky. The depiction of movement is graceful and exciting, drawing the viewer into the race's swift, fluid motion. A solitary island introduces a grounded element to the composition, a stationary counterpoint to the orcas' dynamic energy.
