These stunning, original oil paintings of fruits have been created for our current Still Life Exhibition by one of our East Anglia-based artists who uses traditional glazing techniques to produce distinctive figurative oil paintings. His works possess a remarkable clarity and depth as well as an acute rendering of light and intensity of colour. He told us 'What intrigues me about still life is that it's essentially about an implied human presence. The way objects can create a narrative value beyond their individual worth simply by their relationships to each other in the same space. They can even suggest a sense of place and time without anything being directly stated.'
This most accomplished artist can create a still life painting like no other at the Southwold Gallery and collectors marvel at the realism and the way his painted objects hold a narrative value. There is an implied human presence with a half empty glass, knife on a cheeseboard or half peeled orange in his paintings 🍋
