More than any other genre, still life is open to scrutiny; the elements of line, tone, colour, composition and form are easily quantified, almost every person has a sense of discrimination. To paint a successful ‘still life’ is one of the highpoints in any artist’s career and strangely it is where so many start their careers. ‘Still life’ serves as a portal into the lives of the artists and their take on the world; it is a collection of works ranging from realism to abstract expressionism. With the launch of this exciting exhibition we get to experience pieces that have special significance to their creators and have come from deepest recesses of the human mind and soul. Welcome to the ‘Still Life’ exhibition, I know it will move you.
