About the Item
Artist Comments
Artist Malia Pettit presents a vibrant still life with an attractive color combination. Using large, thoughtful brushstrokes the freshly cut lemons sit in the middle against a bright violet background. A brilliant spotlight creates defined shadows peeking from underneath the fruits, providing depth to the composition.
About the Artist
Malia Pettit sees her artistic process as an act of “liberating the paint†and “allowing for the unexpected to occur.†Her portraits of women stem from a fascination with glossy magazines and their portrayal of models, actors and celebrities. Her work has been especially influenced by Chantal Joffe and John Singer Sargent. She currently lives in California after having lived in England for ten years. When she’s not painting, she is a full-time mom and enjoys exploring estate sales, antique stores and used bookstores.
