About the Item

This exceptional artwork is currently on display and available for sale at Signet Contemporary Art Gallery and online. Step into the captivating world of "The Portuguese Vase with Freishas" by John D Martin, an original still life painting that invites viewers into a scene brimming with charm and elegance. Crafted with oil on canvas, Martin's impressionistic style infuses the composition with a sense of vibrancy and depth. At the forefront of the painting, a table takes center stage, adorned with a striking blue vase filled with delicate white freesias. To the left, a small Portuguese blue vase with a lid adds a touch of cultural flair, while on the right, a whimsical fish sculpture lends a playful element to the tableau. Behind the table, a mirror reflects the beauty of the flowers and offers a glimpse into the dining room beyond. A dining table sits beside the window, bathed in natural light that filters through a yellow and white striped curtain, casting a warm glow over the scene. The color scheme is a symphony of blue, white, and yellow, with each hue complementing the other to create a sense of harmony and balance. Against this backdrop, the flowers bloom with a serene beauty, their petals seeming to sway gently in an unseen breeze. Martin's signature graces the corner of the artwork, a testament to his artistic skill and attention to detail. Framed with care, "The Portuguese Vase with Freishas" is not just a painting but a window into a world of timeless elegance, ready to grace the walls of any art lover's home. For those captivated by its allure, this enchanting artwork awaits at Signet Contemporary Art in Chelsea, both in-gallery and online, offering an opportunity to add a touch of sophistication to any space. Artist Bio: John Martin was born in 1957. He studied at Hornsey followed by three years at Exeter College of Art where he obtained a First Class Honours Degree. He then studied at the Royal Academy Schools under Peter Greenham, gaining a Post Graduate Diploma. His work is in a line of traditional figurative painting, influenced by the Camden Town Group, particularly Sickert, Gilman and Spencer Gore. John’s paintings reflect a sense of place and atmosphere. Brian Sewell, Art Critic of the Evening Standard, said of John’s work: “The gentle honesty of his observation and a technique that matches it produce pictures without irritating mannerisms or striving effects.” John was elected a member of the Royal Society of British Artists in 1990 and has been the recipient of many awards; Stowells of Chelsea Prize Winner, David Murray Landscape Scholarship, WH Patterson Prize, the Fabrica Painting Prize, the Windsor and Newton Best Artist Award and more recently John was awarded the de Laszlo medal at the RBA. John has exhibited extensively here and abroad and has his work in many private and public collections. His paintings have also featured in the Tatler Magazine, Daily Telegraph, Sunday Times and International Artists Magazine.
