Description of the Work: "Untitled, 1985" by Peter Schuyff
The Optical Illusion of Warm Geometry
"Untitled" is a major work by Peter Schuyff, created in acrylic on linen in 1985, a crucial period for the return to abstract painting in New York. The painting stands out for its considerable size, 228 x 168 cm, and is a prime example of the union between minimalist modular precision and a warmer chromatic and material sensibility.
The work is based on a grid of rectangular geometric shapes and orthogonal lines, where red-brown hues alternate with dark blue bands, creating a vibrant contrast. The bright areas are achieved with a masterful technique of glazes and tonal modulations that simulate localized light reflections, as if small virtual spotlights were shining on the canvas. This effect generates a strong illusion of three-dimensionality and visual dynamism.
The work is signed and dated on the verso. Its provenance is certified by a prominent gallery in the New York contemporary art scene, The Pat Hearn Gallery.
The work is accompanied by a certificate of authenticity on photograph, issued directly by the artist Peter Schuyff.
