Calling Out is a vibrant, hand-tufted piece by Peyton Berg that merges playful abstraction with a raw, expressive style. This 3' x 3' artwork draws the viewer in with its bold shapes, layered textures, and dynamic color palette. At the top, a friendly yet enigmatic face smiles from a blue square, contrasting with the more chaotic forms below—a mix of reds, blacks, and yellows that convey a sense of movement and energy. The composition hints at hidden messages and abstract symbols, capturing Berg's unique voice as he “calls out” through his art.
This piece is a perfect statement for anyone who appreciates modern, experimental art with personality. Berg’s iconic Boat symbol rests at the bottom, a reminder of his graffiti roots and his philosophy of going against the current.

What is Tufted Art?
Tufting is a decorative art form that involves carefully weaving small clusters of dyed fibers to create textured, sculpted designs. Rooted in a blend of European embroidery techniques and traditional materials, tufting brings together diverse cultural influences into a unique craft. Each piece is meticulously crafted by a skilled artist, using a hand-drawn design as their guide, ensuring that every tufted artwork is one-of-a-kind. The process is slow and deliberate, requiring patience and precision to bring each vibrant, tactile design to life.
Recommended Plant Pairing: Pair Calling Out with a Bird of Paradise. Its striking leaves and sculptural form enhance the artwork’s bold shapes and color contrasts, creating a vibrant and engaging atmosphere.
