Description of the Work: "Burbelly" by Peter Schuyff
The Optical Illusion of Warm Geometry
"Burbelly" is a major work by Peter Schuyff, created in oil on linen in 2015. The painting stands out for its considerable size, 120 x 100 cm, and is an emblematic example of the union between minimalist modular precision and a warmer chromatic and material sensitivity.
The work is based on a grid of geometric shapes and orthogonal lines reminiscent of an iconic fabric, where the pattern seems to fold and swell, challenging the two-dimensionality of the canvas. The bright areas are achieved with a masterful technique of glazing and tonal modulations that generate a strong illusion of three-dimensionality and visual dynamism.
The work is signed and dated on the verso. Its provenance is certified by a leading international gallery, the Carl Kostyál Gallery in London.
The work is accompanied by a certificate of authenticity on photograph, issued directly by the artist Peter Schuyff.
