'Floral Still Life', Unknown, Oil on Canvas Painting

About the Item

This 14" x 18" oil on canvas painting depicts a still-life of a backlit flower with buds and leaves. The flower could presumably be of tropical origin as the artist painted this work in a representational style but not fully realistically rendered. The brushstrokes are still noticeable and some areas look unblended or unfinished, adhering to some abstraction. The leaves are more prominent than the one blossom and three flower buds depicted; the tropical attributes are evident in the large, dark green leaves of the plant that surround the bright pink blossom. The buds are adjacent to the bloomed flower, in a bundle, while the leaves extend from the stem/base of the plant, taking up the majority of the canvas in relation to the flower buds/blossom. The still-life appears to be without a base, meaning there is no surface that the plant is placed upon, it is simply positioned in front of a background with light penetrating through the flowers and leaves. The background contains a gradient of color; the bottom of the canvas is a light, muted green, in comparison to the green leaves of the flower, and takes up roughly one third of the canvas while a dark maroon color meets the green in a blended/gradient manner and takes up the remaining 2/3 of the background towards the top of the canvas. The subject matter is simple, yet pleasing to the eye and challenges the normal elements of still-life painting.

  • Apples and Glass, super real, illustionistic, colorful contemporary still life
    By Douglas Newton
    Located in Brooklyn, NY
    Oil paint on canvas Doug Newton’s hyper-real paintings observe reality, explore translucency, reflections and luminosity, and dazzle the viewer with all the ways light can transform our perceptions. His subject matter concentrates on still lives of food, toys, candy and household objects. In addition to many group shows across the country, Mr. Newton’s show, “HARD CANDY and other confections” represents his fifth solo exhibition. His paintings have been collected in numerous private collections. Mr. Newton resides in Fort Greene, Brooklyn, NY. Dr. Sonia Coman writes in her essay, Doug Newton’s hard candy: the confection of painting Doug Newton’s paintings are about… painting. The hyperrealist technique of trompe l’oeil or “trick the eye” is knowingly playful. It simultaneously calls attention to the illusion of a different material—for example, translucent candy wrappers—and the reality of the layers of paint, masterfully applied to the canvas. In that, Newton’s paintings pay homage to an esteemed series of trompe l’oeil masters, from Inquisition-era Spanish painter Francisco de Zurbarán to Gilded-Age American painter William Michael Harnett...
