Clam

Sold

SOLD

A unique and captivating oil on canvas by contemporary Irish artist Jenny Belton.

Featuring a clam shell on a round box under a spotlight, this painting by Belton is a comment on the rarity of wisdom. In Belton’s words, “The chances of finding a perfect round pearl in a clam are 100,000 to 1. Wisdom is as rare.” The clam shell here is closed so the question remains as to whether or not there is a pearl to be found within.

Belton has a real knack for creating playful and experimental artworks, and this artwork and its irony is just brilliant. The painting has a ‘sister’ piece which depicts a pearl in a similar setting, which can be seen in the photos. Details of that painting are available to view here.

The painting is unframed but can be hung as is. It is in very good condition.

Jenny Belton is artist based in Dublin, Ireland and has been painting, drawing and making from a young age. Her main inspiration is mid-century art, sculpture, design and architecture in addition to abstract expressionism and the fauvist movement . She drawn to art that is accessible, inclusive and nostalgic and hopes to capture this in her own work.

Sold

SOLD

A very skilfully executed modernist still life composition in oil, painted onto canvas and dated 1986.

Seated Trio

The composition presents three seated figures set against a backdrop filled with warm colours.

Painted in a semi-abstract style, the artist’s deliberate omission of realistic details encourages viewers to focus on brushstrokes and colour. And as we glance across the figures from left to right, their forms become more abstract.

The use of painterly and expressive brushstrokes creates a sense of energy throughout the painting. And the clever use of a limited colour palette of rich brown and orange tones in subtle variations helps to unify the composition and create depth and three-dimensionality.

Yellow & Green Ball

Sold

SOLD

A striking original mid century modernist composition, painted onto board and dated 1969 on the reverse by the established Swedish artist Gunnar Hållander (1915-1980), whose artworks have represented in public collections including the National Museum and Moderna Museet in Stockholm, the Sundsvall Museum and the Institut Tessinin in Paris.

A group of vessels with circular tops are set against an off white surface. This still life leans towards abstraction, with the artist focusing on the forms of the objects and how the elements interact with one another. There is an invisible tension between the objects, as they push and pull against one another. However, there is a very balanced rhythm through the picture, encouraging us viewers to weave our view in and out, up and down and around the composition to explore the form of each object. The artist uses a restrained palette – the picture is almost monochrome, except for the green and yellow circles, which draw our eye to the centre of the picture. There is a wonderful depth to the composition, as well as a very satisfying matte finish to the overall surface.

This painting is wonderfully presented in a distressed style frame with ridge detail, and an inner linen-lined border and gilt window. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.
