In the case of \u003cem\u003ePeter Boggs\u003c\/em\u003e, the recommendation came from an illustrious source, the late, great Margaret Olley. - Philip Bacon\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn an age when time is measured in nanoseconds and information is conveyed in sound bites, Peter Boggs's art may appear as strangely anachronistic with its emphasis on timelessness and distilled beauty. His art is a triumph of slow art.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHis paintings are generally quite small, exquisitely crafted, with their tonality and geometry beautifully resolved. In them, everything has been specially arranged and re-arranged to the point that any further change would be to the detriment of the whole.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThere is something that is very intimate about his art, even diaristic, secretive, and seductive, but there is no explicit narrative. The paintings are not about something; there is no obvious storyline, but at the same time they are very meaningful. They denote emotional and spiritual realities and they do this through visual and not verbal means.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eI feel that his art taps into that which lies beyond the obvious, beyond the surface. Whereas the Surrealists quite often communicate this with a literary narrative, which they illustrate, Boggs communicates this through tonal means, visually exploiting sacred geometry. His is the art of 'visual' rather than 'verbal' intelligence. It is quiet and meditative and invites contemplation in search of spiritual enrichment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Penguin Random House NZ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47082379641068,"sku":"9781925556292","price":70.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/15888253482873.jpg?v=1765273906"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.live\/collections\/sasha-grishin.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
