CJP is a contemporary fine artist, living & working in the UK. With a background as an art director & photographer, his current aesthetic reflects the overlap of disciplines: his intricately skilled, original artworks & prints resemble grainy black & white photographs, each one carefully illustrated with painstaking detail & astonishing artistic nuance. Updating his classic print with an exotic twist, ‘ Rainforest Rewild Pineapple
- A2 Orange’ transforms the iconic pine-cone into a great, greyscale pineapple, set against a flat, burnt-orange background for high visual impact. The detail is breathtaking: every spike of the fruit rendered in vivid intricacy, as though captured on a macro lens. Look closer, & you’ll even spot tiny hidden creatures on the surface, camouflaged like an optical illusion: a sloth scales the side; a plumed bird nestles amongst the leaves; a parrot perches amongst the thorny seeds. A gorgeous snapshot of the natural world, skilfully transformed into a compelling work of contemporary art. CJP is donating 10% of all profits for this print to The World Land Trust, who work to save rainforests & threatened habitats. World Land Trust will use the donations to fund the purchase & protection of critically threatened land through WLT’s Buy an Acre programme, where land can be saved at £100 an acre. Current projects are in Ecuador & Mexico.
