New Eden, 2026

Artspace is pleased to announce New Eden, a limited-edition archival pigment print by Peter Dayton. The print is available in a limited run of 50.

Using laser-copying techniques, Dayton manipulates and layers images, shifting between matte and glossy surfaces to build depth. In this edition, flowers, stripped of leaves and stems, are repeated and multiplied into a field of color and pattern. New Eden recalls the years 1989-1990, revisiting and expanding upon Dayton's early concepts for his flower series. The series embraces repetition and vibrant colors, combining familiar florals together into unique patterns distinctly Dayton's own.

After a decade in the music industry, Dayton returned to visual art in the late 1980s, working out of a small tool shed behind his mother’s house. He began cutting and assembling images sourced from discarded 1950s Home and Garden magazines, experimenting with collage and decoupage as a way back into the art world. “Wouldn’t it be weird if I made collages from these pictures of gardens and presented them as contemporary art?” he recalls. That question marked the start of a practice that continues to evolve decades later.

Peter Dayton emerged on the art scene in the early 1990s and is best known for his flower collages and witty surfboard paintings. He uses the language of Pop art to reference commodity culture, appropriating images and stripping them of their meaning: “I see them as color, shape, pattern,” says Dayton. Commenting on their artifice and exploiting the way commercial images remove subjects from the realm of reality, Dayton's flowers act as a vessel for his exploration of style. He studied at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston and Tufts University. Dayton’s work has been reviewed by The New York Times, Vanity Fair, Elle Decor and The New Yorker.

All our frames are manufactured in the USA, using eco-friendly and sustainably sourced engineered hardwood for durability and a uniform finish that is free of defects. Frames are available in Black or White Satin and Honey Pecan.

All prints are hinged to a conservation quality, acid-free and lignin-free Alpha Cellulose matboard, using an acid-free linen tape. The mat's surface paper is fade and bleed resistant and is attached to a conservation quality foam-core mounting board that will keep the work safe from deterioration over time. Artworks with a deckled or decorative edges will be floated on the matboard, with acrylic spacers to separate the art from the glazing. All mounting is fully reversible, without any potential damage to the art.

All of our frames come with picture quality .090 mm plexiglass, which blocks 66% of UV to prevent color fading from exposure to light, keeping your art protected for years to come. It is now considered the industry standard for artists, museums and galleries throughout the world.
