About the Item

This exceptional artwork is currently on display and available for sale at Signet Contemporary Art Gallery and online. Contemporary painter John D Martin imparts a classic English impressionist style on a sublime exterior garden scene, conveyed during the joyful season of Spring. The artist applies a soft, hazy palette of relevant colours to describe the setting, involving typical garden still life arrangments of which are rendered with loose and briskly paint stokes, eliciting a soothing impression of the picturesque spectacle, conveying a serene and inviting ambience. The intimacy of this landscape demonstrates care and exquisite precision which is employed to capture the essence of light and shade in this piece, implying the warmth and brightness of springtime. Blobs of dappled, flickering paint work describe the attractive pink and white flora that fill the verdant, overgrown backdrop of the garden, adding to the graceful, burgeoning atmosphere, transmitting pure beauty and optical pleasure. This piece evokes the delights and reliable pleasure of spending time in the garden during a sunny day.  The effective use of lights and shadows suggests the presence of sun shining down on the pretty scene portrayed in this artwork. The modern piece is rendered with confident brushstrokes and employs a soothing, pastel hued palette to complement the whimsical character imbued in the intimate vista. The softness of the colours utilised by the artist makes for a dreamy scene. This modern piece is painted in oils on canvas, hand signed by the artist and presented in a complementary gold frame, ready to be displayed. John Martin studied at the Royal Academy Schools and later become an elected member of the Royal Society of British Artists (RBA) He is regularly participating at Royal Academy exhibitions, UK John’s paintings reflect a sense of place and atmosphere.

Stand By
By Gay Summer Rick
Located in Santa Monica, CA
Depicts the terminal view from LAX. Sparsely populated though replete with objects and evidence of the built environment, Gay Summer Rick creates iconic urban and coastal land and cityscape paintings that evoke emotion and a sense of place. She creates scenes that are at once dreamlike and familiar. You may have been there; you are there. Revealing an unexpected beauty in commonplace elements within the urban landscape, Gay Summer’s style is a melding of impressionism and color-field painting describing the quiet vibration of life where cities meet the sea. Applying oil paint to canvas using only palette knives, Gay Summer Rick creates images through a series of interacting, melded layers. The paint is treated architectonically; it is engineered, built into layers, carved, scraped, accumulated, and almost sculpted, but never removed, never discarded. In part to avoid material waste and the use of toxic solvents for reasons of environmentalism, she finds this almost mnemonic accrual of paint a reflection of her experiences in the places she depicts. Growing up in New York surrounded by artists, Gay Summer Rick began her arts education early in life. She went on to formally study art and received her Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in New York at the School of Art and Design, Alfred University, where she drew, painted and sculpted images on clay forms and vessels. After receiving a Masters degree in Business Administration, she continued her art training in Los Angeles in painting, which became the primary focus of her art practice. A resident of Southern California for over 25 years, the artist maintains her studio in Malibu. Gay Summer Rick regularly exhibits in California and Hawaii, and has shown in New York, Europe, and Japan. Her paintings have been featured in solo gallery exhibitions and museum group exhibitions including the Los Angeles County Museum of Art Rental & Sales Gallery; and in international and national group exhibitions where she has received numerous awards and honors. She is a member of Oil Painters of America, California Art Club, Malibu Art...
