About the Item

This exceptional artwork is currently on display and available for sale at Signet Contemporary Art Gallery and online. A vibrant symphony of color and abundance, St. Clements Lime Cornucopia captures the joyful harmony of nature’s sweetest offerings. Set against the cool refinement of a rectangular blue and white china plate, a dazzling medley of fruits spills across the canvas—grapes, plums, green apples, limes, peaches, cherries, and grapefruits, some whole, some halved to reveal their intricate interiors. The artist’s meticulous attention to detail gives each piece of fruit its own distinct presence, from the dewy sheen of the grapes to the rich, sun-kissed textures of the peaches. The contrast between warm, golden hues and the cooler greens and purples enhances the painting’s vibrancy, making the composition feel almost illuminated from within. The deep black background serves as a perfect foil, elevating the colors to an almost luminous intensity. At its heart, St. Clements Lime Cornucopia is a celebration of nature’s variety and abundance, echoing the classical tradition of still life painting while embracing a hyper-realistic sensibility. It captures the pleasure of fresh, ripe fruit at the peak of its perfection, inviting the viewer to savor its richness. This exceptional artwork is currently on display and available for sale at Signet Contemporary Art Gallery and online. Artist Bio: Niggy Dowler is a self-taught artist with a prodigious natural talent, working within the tradition of Classical Realism while bringing a fresh, contemporary perspective to the genre. Best known for her luminous still-life paintings, Niggy’s work captures the intrinsic beauty of everyday objects—most notably fruits overflowing from intricately patterned dishes—presented from a striking aerial perspective. Her meticulous attention to detail and mastery of rich, vibrant oils create compositions that are both timeless and captivating. Niggy's journey into painting began as a form of meditation, rekindling a childhood passion. In 2012, an impulsive entry into the Wells Art Contemporary Open unexpectedly launched her career, and since then, her work has been in high demand. However, she produces only a limited number of canvases each year, making her pieces highly sought after. Her still-life paintings merge classical techniques with modern influences, incorporating elements of natural and manmade beauty, as well as playful moments of life—most notably her signature bees. Inspired by Dutch Vanitas paintings and contemporary still-life photography, she explores contrasts between decay and beauty, transforming traditionally "ugly" subjects, such as overripe fruit and skulls, into strikingly elegant compositions. Niggy has exhibited extensively in national exhibitions, including the Royal Institute of Oil Painters and the Society of Wildlife Artists. Her work has been featured in several magazines, shortlisted and commended in national competitions, and is showcased annually at the Affordable Art Fairs. Explore the exquisite fruit paintings of renowned artist Niggy Dowler, available for sale exclusively at Signet Contemporary Art. Known for her meticulous craftsmanship and exceptional attention to detail, Niggy’s work brings fruits to life with breathtaking realism.Whether you’re looking to elevate your personal art collection or add a touch of timeless beauty to your home, her paintings offer a stunning focal point. Experience the elegance of these remarkable pieces from the comfort of your own space through our online gallery. . 'I aim to combine a modern perspective with classical techniques to create something beautiful and timeless. I love the luxury and the vitality that oils create, and in my work I always use vibrant colour and textures to draw the viewer in to my detailed and luscious compositions. In my still lives I combine these principles, elements of natural and manmade beauty with hidden moments of humour and decidedly non-still life (most popularly my bees!). Having enjoyed considerable success with these still lives I am now developing them further with inspiration from the Dutch Vanitas still lives and modern still life photography. I love making something that might initially seem ugly (rotten fruit, skulls) into something really beautiful.”- Niggy Dowler
