Blue Lobster

The Blue Lobster by Daniel O’Connell, exclusive to Peggy Concept Store.

This original artwork on paper captures the striking form of a lobster through Daniel O’Connell’s expressive use of colour, fluid linework and layered washes. Painted in shades of indigo, cobalt and soft watercolour blue, the work balances bold black outlines with looser splashes of pigment, creating a composition that feels both graphic and spontaneous.

Set against a clean white ground, the lobster becomes the clear focal point, giving the piece a fresh, contemporary feel. The cool blue palette brings a calm coastal sensibility, while the oversized claws and sweeping lines add movement and personality. It is a playful yet refined work that feels distinctly connected to both the natural world and Daniel’s wider coastal inspired practice.

About the Artist:

Daniel O’Connell is a Sydney based artist known for his vibrant, detailed paintings that explore colour, movement and form. Working from his Palm Beach studio, his practice draws inspiration from the natural environment and everyday life, transforming familiar subjects through an expressive and distinctive use of colour.

About the Work:

In Blue Lobster, O’Connell reimagines a familiar crustacean through a cooler, more tonal palette. Layered blue washes move from pale watery hues to deep indigo, while confident black linework defines the shell, claws and body with an energetic hand.

The balance of structure and looseness is central to the work’s appeal. Splashes of pigment and visible watercolour movement give the piece a sense of spontaneity, while the strong composition keeps it feeling considered and modern. With its coastal subject matter and fresh palette, Blue Lobster brings both character and ease to an interior.
