About the Item
Artist Comments
"A fun play in taking inanimate objects and giving them life," states artist Christopher Garvey. He depicts two fresh and leafy white cabbages, commonly known as bok choy, standing against a muted background. A soft light falls from the left of the composition casting shadows to the right. It highlights the vegetable's intricate details and reveals a tangible depth from its subtle contrast.
About the Artist
Christopher Garvey focuses on the still life in his work, capturing objects like dishes and fruit with impressive clarity. He currently lives in South Carolina and finds inspiration in Renaissance and Baroque art. When it comes to technique, he enjoys the challenge of accurate drawing and the transparent qualities of oil paint. He has collected many books over the years, which he uses to improve his practice.

Artist Comments
Artist Jinny Tomozy presents a realistic still life of vibrant and colorful produce - an intimate look at the gardener's prize. "I can not resist the bounty of a fresh harvest," says Jinny. The saturated hues of the fruits that have been nurtured all summer finally come to reveal themselves. The shine of the plump globes displays a dance of highlights among the gathering.About the Artist
Artist Jinny Tomozy reveals the most tender aspects of nature through the sculptural forms of flowers.
