About the Item
This exceptional artwork is currently on display and available for sale at Signet Contemporary Art Gallery and online.
The original realism painting by Martha Nairn presents a sensitive figurative study of a still life arrangment featuring delicate glass, silverware and fruits. The artist applies a muted palette to this composition, further imbuing the piece with a sense of tranquility that is exuded from the items that are placed in satisfying positions. This intimate still life evokes the technique of old Dutch masters of the painting technique, demonstrating a skillful rendering of light and shadow. This modern artwork is painted in oils on canvas, hand signed by the artist and is framed, ready to be displayed.
Martha Nairn was born in rural Pennsylvania in 1955, where her family lived until, they moved to Guernsey in 1966. Always artistic, Martha went to ballet school before attending The Guildhall School of Music & Drama in London, thereafter working as an actress in both theU.K. and the U.S.
She is delighted to have found a passion for painting in recent years, inspired by the Dutch Old Masters. although largely self taught, she has spent time studying her technique with artists both in London and New York as well as time learning with a painter of miniatures in Jaipur India.
She has travelled extensively, using photography to explore contrasts in composition. This has inspired her painting. All the compositions are painted from life, the building of the setup in the studio being a major factor in the process and using a controlled light source. After completing a detailed drawing, thin layers of paint are applied, beginning with the grisaille, or under painting, followed by numerous layers of color. The intention is to create drama with shadow and light and to delight in the detail.
