Artwork Details:

This is an early work in the development of the Arcipluvia series, in which shapes of a different colourways are inserted into the piece. 'Arcipluvia XXX', features an inner rectangle comprised of lighter shades of the outer edge colours, creating the impression of looking through a tinted, rectangular lens – it has a blurring effect on the piece. Though we recognise the rolling hills and trees from rural scenes, Arcipluvia is an imagined world in which colour dominates the scene and draws in the viewer – these landscapes provide an emotive, joyous escape from the everyday.

Arcipluvia is a name derived from the archaic word ‘arcipluvian’, which translates to an ‘arc of rain’, more commonly known as a rainbow. This series sparked the concept of Arcipluvia as a shop to sell an array of colourful pieces by myself, and in time, other selected artists.
