Why imitate reality when you can imagine a new one?
Here the most powerful resources of the artist – creativity, imagination and reinvention – have been harnessed. Such a delicate combination has been achieved: the celebration of the common things of everyday life without imitation. Instead, we have ‘visual music’, composed using the formal artistic elements of pattern, harmony, colour, and rhythm.
We have abstract planes of strong colour, intensified by chromatic contrasts which cause each saturated hue to reverberate in the eye. This ‘no depth’ style might seem simple to achieve, but when examined further, the combination of different elements in fact take great skill. The objects have been deliberately flattened to bring them parallel to the picture surface, deployed on a table top that has been similarly brought up and forward by 90 degrees to align them with the canvas plane. These familiar objects acquire a new life of their own within the composed world of the painting, bounded by the rectangular surface itself and their own pictorial structure of shape and colour.
This meticulous and vivacious oil on board is in excellent vintage condition. The black complementary frame as seen in the photos is included with the painting.

This quotidien scene of simple objects is arranged as a still life of copper, bronze and silver vessels. There is no frippery to this picture, no gesture overplayed.
Yet the physical solidarity and surety of the objects contrast starkly with the negative space and void beyond – the table and background seem to merge into an abstract hollow. This invites us to open our minds to wider meanings, and offers us the chance to think freely and more metaphorically.
As opposed to just static receptacles, we could imagine this grouping as a family – perhaps as three siblings in a row. The two elder siblings perched on either end, standing tall and playing by the rules, while the youngest sibling in the middle, creative and seeking attention, playfully falls over, breaking the formal composition of the picture. Yet somehow the trio remain harmonious despite the disruption.
As objects, they share similarities in their matter and purpose, but are still able to hold their own. Much like siblings, they are bonded by connections and similarities, but remain unique individuals with idiosyncratic characteristics worth discovering.

A blue vase filled with lush pink peach blossoms in full bloom is presented on a table top, with light streaming in from the window behind. The pink tones stand out beautifully against the deeper blues of the vase and background, and the stems of the peach blossom branch out confidently in different directions, its strength and wildness on display, never to be subdued.
Painted in oil on canvas board, it is in excellent vintage condition.

This bold and eye-catching still life presents a table setting of a flower pot set against oranges and onions. The bright and vibrant colour palette of red, orange and yellow hues that have been used is cheerful, and is sure to lift your spirits. The artist has skilfully captured the three-dimensionality of the objects through the use of fine and broad brushwork.
This oil on board is in very good vintage condition. There is some very minor wear to the outermost corners which would be covered by a frame.

This 20th century oil on canvas presents a still life that is carefully composed and well-balanced. The artist has used fine brushstrokes to portray a detailed array of tableware on a wooden top. We can detect the use of chiaroscuro, a technique in art that uses the contrast of light and shadow, giving the objects a sense of three-dimensionality and volume.
The artist has chosen not to hide the age and wear of the objects, and has deliberately chosen to include the staining on the plate and the discolouration on the pitcher in the middle, highlighting the functional and practical use of these objects in everyday life. The silverware stand strong and proud, with a robust and determined manner.
This painting provides a wonderful parallel to life’s journey – often filled with challenges and hardship, but a reminder that we should always persevere, and make the deliberate choice to to take pride in our scares and embrace it as part of our life story.
This is painted in acrylic on stretched canvas, and is in fine vintage condition.
