Green Violet Box 1967

Peter Alexander made this mysterious Green Violet Box with resin. What I love about resin is how you can see through it, yet it’s also solid. I can imagine Alexander in his studio, experimenting with color and light, pouring layers of resin, waiting for it to set, and then pouring more. There’s a real sense of depth here, like looking into a pool of water, where the colors shift and change as the light moves. The way the light filters through the resin creates such a luminous effect, it's amazing. It reminds me of the Light and Space movement, where artists were exploring perception and the way we experience light and form. It’s like he’s captured a fleeting moment, freezing it in time and space. It's not painting, but it's totally painting... you know?
