About the Item

Pocket Dark Cherries is an original oil painting by Dani Humberstone as part of her Pocket Painting series featuring small scale realistic oil paintings, with a nod to baroque still life painting. The paitings are set in a black wood layered frame. Discover new paintings by artist Dani Humberstone at Wychwood Art. Dani Humberstone uses the symbolism of ripe fruit to illustrate the narrative. Painting directly from life allows her to translate three dimensions into two and capture the essence or life force of the subject. Individual fruits damage easily; so as they slowly age she tracks their gradual decay in the painting as she works. Fruit has been used metaphorically in art and language for centuries. It has helped Illustrate Fairy Tales, Mythology, The Bible and Shakespeare etc. An apple in Renaissance painting was symbolic of ‘a fallen woman’ and we still use fruit analogies to describe ourselves and our lives today. In her own work the artist also uses elements of abstraction, landscape or line drawing to hint at a deeper narrative within and opening the door to unseen possibilities beyond the immediate image. Dani Humberstone paints in oils, predominantly Old Holland Classic Oilcolour - using transparent glazes over opaque colour which creates intense levels of luminosity and depth. Strong light and shade, chiaroscuro, give atmosphere and tone.

  • Signed George Lance Still-life Amor Painting 19 century oil canvas
    By George Lance
    Located in Florence, IT
    (with guilloché frame, 31.2 x 33.5 inch) A plain and creased tablecloth misleads us of a certain simplicity that is just a semblance: in fact, it covers a table that - matching it with the luxury chair carved with a raceme and sea shell decoration - definitely it cannot be unadorned. Its whiteness creates an interesting effect with the carmine red gathered drape, same colour duality found of the currants: the red is a symbol of blood, fire, passion in contradiction with white, the cold colour par excellence, that is symbol of purity. The two cloths together set the perfect theatre curtain for the series of varied objects posed down the table, organized following a tidy disorder permeated of a calm caused by the absence of men: just a deceptive sensation because, even if human beings aren’t participating, the objects talk about them. So we can see fruits, dices, a wicker wine bottle...
