About the Item
Artist Comments
Artist James Hartman shows a charming still life set indoors. A bouquet of pastel flowers in a blue vase takes center stage as oranges, paintbrushes, and a green pot of yellow blooms sprawl on the table. "I enjoyed creating this work that is part of a series of combinations of everyday objects as compositional elements," shares James. He paints over a collage of antique ephemera, retaining portions in the final output to shine through. Inspired by a friend's birthday party where everyone was given potted plants, he incorporates the Alstroemeria, also called Peruvian Lilies, into the timeless composition.
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.
