Pigeon - Original Painting by Peter Tigler

Artist: Peter Tigler
Title: Pigeon, 2025
Medium: Oil & Acrylic on masonite
Dimensions: 12 h × 12 w inches

This original pigeon painting captures the understated beauty and distinctive character of a familiar urban bird. Peter Tigler renders the pigeon in cool gray, slate, and subtle iridescent green tones, bringing attention to the nuanced shifts in color and texture across its plumage.

The subject stands against a heavily layered background of gestural brushwork, paint splatter, and visible studio residue. Variations in opacity and surface texture create a dynamic contrast with the carefully observed figure, allowing the artist’s process and material choices to remain visible throughout the composition.

A piece of contemporary bird art that finds beauty in an everyday subject through a combination of close observation and expressive mark-making. Layers of paint and texture emerge on closer inspection, making this one-of-a-kind pigeon artwork as compelling up close as it is from across the room.

Ideal for collectors seeking pigeon wall art, contemporary urban bird artwork, or modern animal paintings that balance representational detail with painterly abstraction. A distinctive statement piece for modern, eclectic, or gallery-style interiors.
