Image size: 6 3/4 x 9 1/2 inches (17 x 24 cm)
This delicate botanical study evokes the printed and painted flora that historically have been used as pattern books by artists and designers such as William Morris and Alexander MccQueen. This artwork paces emphasis on the aesthetic value of the plant while remaining scientifically and botanically correct. It reflects an intimate knowledge and understanding of the subject based on firsthand observation by the artist. Indeed, Sergeant has here sought out to understand the structure of the plant and to communicate it to her audience in an aesthetically pleasing manner.

By Tuëma Pattie
Located in Petworth, GB
Tuëma Pattie was born in Dublin, studied at the Belfast College of Art, the Central School of Art and Design and Morley College, London, and with Piers Ottey and Christopher Baker in Sussex, and Robin Child in Devon.
In her early days in Belfast and London, she took advantage of urban scenes as her subject matter. She then had a long period in which she took time out to have two children and to support her husband in his career. It was a difficult to find time for her beloved painting, as was the case for many women in that era.
Tuëma has exhibited extensively at the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition, the London Art Fair, the Royal Hibernian Summer Exhibition, the Cork Street Gallery, Art for Youth at the Mall Gallery London, London Art Fair, Chichester Open, East Hampshire Art Fair, the Jorgensen Gallery in Dublin and at Glyndebourne. Also with Kevis House Gallery, Moncrieff Bray Gallery and Rountree Tryon Gallery...

Still-life paintings work as part of the decor in nearly every type of space.
Still-life art, which includes work produced in media such as painting, photography, video and more, is a popular genre in Western art. However, the depiction of still life in color goes back to Ancient Egypt, where paintings on the interior walls of tombs portrayed the objects — such as food — that a person would take into the afterlife. Ancient Greek and Roman mosaics and pottery also often depicted food. Indeed, still-life paintings frequently feature food, flowers or man-made objects. By definition, still-life art represents anything that is considered inanimate.
During the Middle Ages, the still life genre was adapted by artists who illustrated religious manuscripts. A common theme of these paintings is the reminder that life is fleeting. This is especially true of vanitas, a kind of still life with roots in the Netherlands during the 17th century, which was built on themes such as death and decay and featured skulls and objects such as rotten fruit. In northern Europe during the 1600s, painters consulted botanical texts to accurately depict the flowers and plants that were the subject of their work.
Leonardo da Vinci’s penchant for observing phenomena in nature and filling notebooks with drawings and notes helped him improve as an artist of still-life paintings. Vincent van Gogh, an artist who made a couple of the most expensive paintings ever sold, carried out rich experiments with color over the course of painting hundreds of still lifes, and we can argue that Campbell’s Soup Cans (1961–62) by Andy Warhol counts as still-life art.
While early examples were primarily figurative, you can find still lifes that belong to different schools and styles of painting, such as Cubism, Impressionism and contemporary art.
As part of the wall decor in your living room, dining room or elsewhere, a still-life painting can look sophisticated alongside your well-curated decorative objects and can help set the mood in a space.
When shopping for a still-life painting, think about how it makes you feel and how the artist chose to represent its subject. When buying any art for your home, choose pieces that you connect with. If you’re shopping online, read the description of the work to learn about the artist and check the price and shipping information. Make sure that the works you choose complement or relate to your overall theme and furniture style. Artwork can either fit into your room’s color scheme or serve as an accent piece. Introduce new textures to a space by choosing an oil still-life painting.
On 1stDibs, find a collection of still-life paintings in a wide range of styles and subject matter.
