Description
This hand-made drawing was created in the beautiful Ayrshire, at the 18th Century palladian country house, Dumfries House in Scotland. It forms part of a collection of intricate, personal drawings created by Olivia Peake whilst completing her residency at The Royal School of Drawing during December 2016. Arboretum takes influence from both the architecture and botanical gardens within the 2,000 acres of land at Dumfries House. Through geometric shapes, structural compositions and rococo floral stencilling, the drawing depicts both the modern Minimalist architecture, nature inspired forms and Art Nouveau influences of Thomas Chippendale furniture. The uses of pearlescent and iridescent paint is a re-occuring theme within Peake’s work, as well as the bursts of fluorescent colours, but Arboretum encompasses a more organic feel with shimmers of winter sunshine.
