About the Item

This exceptional artwork is currently on display and available for sale at Signet Contemporary Art Gallery and online. In "True Love," Therese James captures a tender moment of connection between a woman and her faithful dog, seated side by side in serene harmony. The scene is painted with a contemporary naïve style, inviting viewers into a world where simplicity and emotion intertwine. The pair gazes at one another with a bond that speaks volumes, their shared presence set against a backdrop of tranquil seaside beauty. They rest on a lush carpet of green grass, adorned with delicate flowers that seem to echo the warmth of their affection. Above them, a tree, crowned with silhouetted black birds, adds a touch of whimsical elegance to the composition. The color palette of blues and greens enhances the peaceful, yet vibrant atmosphere, emphasizing the quiet joy and love that permeate the scene. This piece, with its fresh and expressive brushstrokes, is a celebration of the deep, uncomplicated love that exists between a person and their pet. "True Love" is a striking addition to any space, and it's ready to be displayed, bringing its charm and heartfelt sentiment to a new home. It is available for purchase at Signet Contemporary Art in Chelsea and online. Artist biography: Therese James has been immersed in the world of painting and exhibition since 1993, carving her path as a self-taught artist guided solely by instinct and intuition. Developing a distinctive style characterized by representative characters inhabiting her vibrant canvases, Therese aligns herself with the Naive School, embracing a philosophy of boundless creativity and unfettered expression. For Therese, each painting is a voyage of discovery, an organic evolution of emotions and ideas. Drawing inspiration from the landscapes and literature of her native Wales and the West Country, she imbues her work with a sense of nostalgia and longing, encapsulated by the Welsh concept of ‘Hiraeth’—a profound yearning for home. Selected as ‘Welsh Artist of the Year’ and invited to exhibit at prestigious venues such as ‘The Royal Welsh Show’ and ‘The Eisteddfod’, Therese’s art has garnered recognition both nationally and internationally. Her work can be found in galleries across the UK, as well as in collections spanning America, New Zealand, and Hong Kong. At Signet Contemporary Art Gallery, Therese’s paintings are sourced directly from her studio, ensuring each piece retains its unique authenticity and charm. Embodying the timeless tradition of naive style painting, Therese’s art captivates viewers with its whimsical charm and evocative storytelling. For those drawn to the allure of naive style painting, Therese’s portfolio promises a journey into a world of imagination and wonder. Explore her enchanting creations online or visit Signet Contemporary Art Gallery to experience the magic first-hand. “Over the many years I have worked, my style has slowly and naturally evolved and through continuously working and experimenting it has become an extension of who I am. I work the paint with my hands until I get to the finer details, I get an instinctive feel for when the consistency is just right and then I go with it. I never know how I am going to get there – I only know I have to and that when the journey is complete, I will know. Each one is a roller coaster of emotions, a pilgrimage to places once visited in my mind and heart. The Welsh word ‘Hiraeth’ is what best describes it for me – it is a deep longing for home, that home is inside me, trying to find this place and transform it into something tangible is what continuously fires me to keep painting. It is these places and paintings that make the connections between Therese’s audience and her paintings.” – Therese James
