James Hartman
Still Life with Green Vase, Original Painting

2024

About the Item

Artist Comments
A green vase with pink roses graces the center of a dining table. Food, dishes, and cutlery tell a story of a vibrant life. Using a cradled panel, artist James Hartman applies a collage of antique ephemera with beeswax, painting details and setting the oils with heat.


About the Artist
When James Hartman was in art school, he became fascinated with the Society of Six, a group of artists who painted en plein air (outdoors) and exhibited together in the San Francisco Bay Area during the early 20th Century. James's paintings of the Northern California landscape pay tribute to some of the great Bay Area artists of the past. His expressive scenes feel alive through his vibrant use of color and his painterly brushwork. James’s paintings have an immediate visual impact from a distance, yet up close, dissolve into a series of confident marks and strokes. There is a simultaneous complexity and steadiness in his flattened, color-blocked planes. Knowledge and observation are essential elements of James’s working practice. To this end, he spends a large proportion of his time painting on location. His body of work captures the fresh and sunlit essence of the coastal California hills.
