About the Item

Sally-Ann Johns’ striking work often depicts everyday birds and animals, sometimes portraits, displayed in a unique and exciting way. Set into a gold lined box, they conjure images of ancient religious icons tempting the viewer to witness them in a new light. Sally-Ann Johns original artworks are available to buy online and in our art gallery at Wychwood Art. Sally-Ann Johns’ striking work often depicts everyday birds and animals, sometimes portraits, displayed in a unique and exciting way. Set into a gold lined box, they conjure images of ancient religious icons tempting the viewer to witness them in a new light. Artist Sally Ann Johns comments ‘The mysterious iconography of the Catholic and Apostolic Church has been inspiring my work for many years. Each piece of work consists of one image, isolated and surrounded in golden leaf. Then the work is displayed in its own beautifully hand-crafted case, a simple drawing becomes a precious artifact. My drawings are less to do with a realistic representation or portrait, than with creating a visual prayer. I allow each image to stand alone, surrounded by the constantly changing light that reflects around it. The images are not what you would typically call holy or iconic, the animals are simplistic, sometimes flawed; the portraits are often dark or haunted. I don’t polish them or look for perfection; I leave them in their reflected light. I intend to demonstrate the ordinary to be extraordinary and leave each one as perfect in its imperfection.

Henrietta Caledon, Seagulls, Original Oil Painting, Seascape Art, Affordable Art
By Henrietta Caledon
Located in Deddington, GB
Henrietta Caledon Seagulls Original Oil Painting Oil on Wood Canvas Size: H 51cm x W 61cm Sold Unframed Please note that in situ images are purely an indication of how a piece may look). Landscape painting of seagulls fishing in the sea by Henrietta Caledon. There is a family of seagulls that live on my roof, and I became fascinated by them during the lockdown. They are so agile, and they represent ‘soaring above the drama’, ‘looking at things from a different angle’, adaptability, stamina, resourcefulness, and freedom. The turquoise and blue colours of the sea almost swallow the gulls in the waves and their orange beaks are a wonderful contrast. Henrietta Caledon was born in London in 1964. Studied art and history of art for O’level and A’level at West Heath School and then Queensgate School. Trained at Xium International design service company in 1982/83. Started interior decorating business Henrietta Designs in 1984 and have carried out many projects around the world for thirty five years, working a lot with design and colour. 2016-2019, Trained with Nick Bashall at Rossetti Studios and the sketch club at Dilke Street. 2018 exhibited three paintings in group exhibition at The Hurlingham Club, London. 2019 solo exhibition at Kiki McDonough...
