Item Details
Description
Peggy Hunter Port (American/Texas, 1943-2021), "Abstract Composition", 2003, oil on gallery-wrapped canvas, signed twice and dated en verso, 30 in. x 24 in., unframed. Note: Peggy Port began her career as a sculptor in the late 1970s and now works primarily on canvas from her home in Houston where she is a well-known figure of the contemporary art scene. She graduated from Arkansas State University, received a graduate degree from the University of Texas, and completed additional studies at the Glassell School, Art League Houston, and West End Gallery in Santa Fe. Much of Port?s work consists of multiple layers of color and texture, often incorporating encaustic techniques. As noted by Virginia Billeaud Anderson of Greater Houston Weekly: ?[Port] paints breathtaking abstractions constructed with Rothko like horizontal color tiers. Textural variation heightens their drama, ranging from thickly applied, mixed with sand or wax, to thinly painted passages.?Ref.: Peggy Port Studios. www.peggyport.com. Accessed May 1, 2024.
