This painting is the second triptych in a series of three corresponding triptychs on plywood completed in 2021. This triptych that can be displayed multiple configurations with the center piece remaining in place.The Imagery on all four sides of each painting aligns seamlessly with the adjacent panels when rotated and when the positions of the outer panels are switched. The center panel is raised approximately 3/4” above the outer panels. The inspiration behind the series was the song “Sometime Ago - La Fiesta” by the recently deceased jazz great Chick Correa and Swiss Mathematician Leonhard Euler’s Identity. The equation and the melody appear so simple yet the underlying characteristics of both are elegantly complex and linear. The song is perhaps one of Correa’s most beautiful songs and Euler’s Equation is often referred to as the beautiful equation. The imagery in this three part series loosely follows the mathematical applications of Eulers’s Identity in connection with the lyrics and rhythmic structure of Correa’s song. This second painting in the series also takes into consideration the structure of the golden ratio (Phi) which is infinite and lasting.

ARTIST STATEMENT:ARTIST STATEMENT: Peter Carr, has been making art his entire life. Born in Hawai’i and raised in Carmel, CA he moved to Los Angeles in 1981 to attend college at Ucla. After college he took the professional corporate route but art has always been a critical aspect of his life. He never thought seriously about approaching the art world until recently. In 2013 Peter went through several life changing surgeries. Up to that point, aside from love and family, surfing and art had been the center point of his physical, spiritual and personal life. Due to the surgeries he could no longer surf but he could dream and think of it and find a way to illustrate the very core of his surfing soul through his art. After the most trying moments of his medical recovery his art style and technique changed almost overnight, as though he was a completely different artist. His art has organically evolved from that experience to where he is today. At the end of 2017, he left his corporate job to pursue his passion for art, full time. His youth in Hawai’i and experience of the 70’s art and post-hippy surfing renaissance in Carmel coupled with the go-go surf punk rock 80’s in Los Angeles have profoundly informed his aesthetic. Peter favors pastels, water color, gouache and oil paint. His art is influenced by his spiritual beliefs, love of math and science, and concerns for the changing planet and humanity. The style, repeating subject matter and forms that inhabits his art could best be summarized as hardedge geometric abstract or, as Peter would call it, Fractal Wavalism — the product of a cluttered mind drifting off into an alternative universe or dimension, where the creator is infinite and color, light and contrast boldly explode.
