Douglas Newton
One to Three - Original modern pop still life oil painting- contemporary Artwork

2024

About the Item

This exceptional artwork is currently on display and available for sale at Signet Contemporary Art Gallery and online. Douglas Newton’s "One to Three" is a captivating oil on canvas that transforms an everyday subject into a vivid visual feast. Rooted in the art style of contemporary realism, this still life painting captures the luminous beauty of three candies, their crinkled wrappers reflecting light in mesmerizing patterns. Newton's meticulous attention to detail brings out the texture and gloss of the candy wrappers, making them appear almost tangible, as if you could reach out and hear the subtle rustle of the cellophane. The colour palette is both bold and harmonious, featuring rich hues of crimson, golden yellow, and deep blue. These vibrant colours are amplified by Newton’s masterful handling of light and shadow, creating reflections that dance across the smooth surface beneath the candies. The contrast between the saturated tones and the softer, muted background enhances the composition, drawing the viewer’s eye directly to the intricate folds and highlights of the wrappers. Newton's "One to Three" is more than just a study of objects; it’s an exploration of how light interacts with color and texture, turning the ordinary into something extraordinary. The dynamic interplay of transparency, reflection, and rich pigmentation invites viewers to appreciate the beauty in simple things. Artist Biography: Douglas Newton is a Brooklyn-based painter whose work explores the transformative effects of light, translucency, and reflection through a hyperrealist lens. Working primarily from life, he captures the way light alters perception, particularly in his still life compositions. After attending Stanford University, Newton studied at the Art Center College of Design in Los Angeles. He spent several years working as an art director in Los Angeles and New York before transitioning to a full-time painting practice. His early work focused on suburban surrealism, depicting imagined landscapes, houses, and gardens, alongside an extensive study of the human figure. Over time, he gravitated toward still life painting, focusing on subjects such as food, toys, candy, and household objects—ultimately making still life the core of his artistic practice. Newton’s work has been exhibited in numerous group shows across the United States, as well as four solo exhibitions. His paintings are held in many private collections, and in 2012, he was selected for a residency at Fundación Valparaíso in Andalusia, Spain. He lives and works in Brooklyn, NY, where he shares a home with his wife, painter Kathleen Migliore-Newton. Their brownstone in Fort Greene is also home to their daughter, her husband, and their granddaughter.

Immerse yourself in their exquisite detail and masterful realism from the comfort of your home, or visit our London gallery to experience them in person. “My art is inspired by the hidden beauty I see in the everyday world around me. Light, shadow, rich colors, and intricate textures all spark my creative process. I work directly from life, never relying on photographs, to capture the essence of my subjects and convey the way light interacts with them. Candy and its wrappers, especially foil and cellophane, have become a central theme in my work. Three Almond Kisses celebrates the beauty of candy, not just as an object, but as a vehicle for exploring light and reflection. This body of work marked the beginning of my focus on capturing the way light interacts with everyday objects, revealing their hidden beauty. Alongside my candy and still life paintings, my portfolio includes food still lifes, toys, household objects, figure drawings, and even surrealistic landscapes from my earlier work. In all of my pieces, I strive to capture those fleeting moments of beauty that often go unnoticed, transforming the mundane into something extraordinary.”- Douglas Newton
