Green Crustacean III

The Green Crustacean III by Daniel O’Connell, exclusive to Peggy Concept Store.

This original artwork on paper captures the sculptural form of a crustacean through Daniel O’Connell’s expressive use of fluid linework, layered pigment and spontaneous mark making. Earthy greens and ochre tones are washed with muted blue, while dark outlines give definition and movement to the oversized claws and curved shell.

Set against a generous white ground with scattered blue and ochre splashes, Green Crustacean III feels both playful and beautifully considered. Part of O’Connell’s exploration of food and the natural world, the work transforms a familiar coastal subject into a bold contemporary composition filled with personality.

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 Green Crustacean III, O’Connell takes the distinctive form of a crustacean and loosens it through washes of colour, energetic black linework and spontaneous splashes of pigment. The oversized claws and sweeping limbs create a strong sense of movement across the paper, while layers of olive, ochre and blue give the piece depth and character.

The work reflects O’Connell’s fascination with the relationship between nature and the culinary world. Familiar yet unexpected, Green Crustacean III brings a distinctly coastal sensibility into the home while retaining the expressive energy and individuality of an original work.
