About the Item

"Poetry" by Kelly-Anne Cairns is a mesmerizing exploration of serenity and introspection, captured in the ethereal strokes of impressionistic style. This original still figurative painting invites viewers into a world of quiet contemplation and inner reflection. At the heart of the canvas sits a resting figure of a dark-haired girl, her eyes gently closed in peaceful repose. Clad in a white top and blue skirt, she emanates a sense of tranquility and grace. Cairns' masterful use of oil on canvas brings a sense of lifelike presence to the subject, capturing the subtle nuances of her posture and expression with delicate precision. The color palette of blue and yellow neutrals lends a soft and soothing quality to the scene, evoking a sense of calm and harmony. The colors blend seamlessly, creating a dreamlike atmosphere that invites viewers to immerse themselves in the beauty of the moment. Cairns' impressionistic style infuses the artwork with a sense of movement and emotion, capturing the fleeting essence of introspection with a delicate touch. Each brushstroke is imbued with poetry, inviting viewers to contemplate the mysteries of the human spirit. Signed and ready to be displayed, "Poetry" is a timeless testament to the artist's talent and vision. Available for purchase at Signet Contemporary Art in Chelsea and online, this captivating artwork is sure to inspire and uplift viewers for generations to come. Artist biography: Born: Lancaster, England 1975 Lives: Dunfermline, Scotland Education Gray’s School of Art, Robert Gordons University BA (Hons) Fine Art 1995 – 99 Kelly-Anne Cairns graduated from Gray’s School of Art, Aberdeen, in 1999. She is based in Dunfermline, Fife, where she works from her studio at home. The human form is her main inspiration – she aims to capture emotions, movement and moments in time. She recreates the subtle skin tones of the figures which are enveloped in sumptuous colours – creating calm, atmospheric paintings. She has exhibited regularly across Scotland, London, New York and Amsterdam. Her portraits have been included in the BP Portrait Awards and The Scottish Portrait Awards. She was selected as an artist for Sky Portrait Artist of the Year, March 2020. “I manipulate the figure and its surroundings by exploring the contrasts between the angular shapes surrounding the figure and the soft contours of the body.”
