What a beautiful and thought provoking painting by the (sadly) short lived painter Paul Riley (1963-2020)
His website remains functional and certainly worth a look, his works really are quite beautiful.

Artist: Paul Riley (1963-2020) British
Title: “The Orange Vase”
Medium: oil on canvas
Size: 213cm x 151cm
Price: £650
Condition: very good but due to the size of the canvas it’s inherited some striation marks vertically -only noticeable really under the bright gallery lighting.
Notes: Studied Fine Art at Gloucester (1982-85) and a post graduate course at the prestigious Royal Academy London. He exhibited at the New Grafton Gallery London and later at Sarah Myerscough Fine Art. He painted still lives on a large scale with the same small coterie of inanimate objects - bottles, pots, cubes - recurring in ostensibly random permutations. He sadly died young at 57 years old following a battle with bile duct cancer. Works in collections include The Prudential, Clifford Chance and P & O Cruises.
