Description
In Iris #2, Canadian artist Joseph Plaskett brings a cluster of irises to life through soft layers of luminous pastel. With expressive strokes and a palette that hums with subtle color, the composition captures the elegance and quiet vitality of these blooms. Plaskett’s sensitivity to light and form transforms a simple floral arrangement into a lyrical study in atmosphere and presence.
A celebrated figure in Canadian art, Plaskett (1918–2014) was known for still lifes, interiors, and florals rendered with warmth, texture, and intimacy. He was named an Officer of the Order of Canada and was a member of the Royal Canadian Academy of Arts.
This pastel is a fine example of his ability to elevate everyday subjects into timeless meditations on beauty.
