"Four out of Seven", contemporary, still life, retro, bold, oil painting

2018

About the Item

Jill Pottle’s still life titled “Four out of Seven” is part of a continuing series since 2014, titled “Epic Still Life.” In this personal creation, a 36 X 36 inch oil painting is on a stretched canvas. Here the iconic popular culture objects are encased in glass. She uses natural and artificial light, setting the stage for her subjects. In her depiction of “retro” objects, the relationships of the objects convey feelings of overcrowding. This painting involves collections of objects that are well-loved and used in our homes and attics. Jill uses bold patterns and high chroma to create movement around the canvas. The canvas has a cleanly painted side edge, is ready to hang. Known for her complicated and engaging still life and loose plein air work, Jill Pottle is a New Realist painter from Worcester County. Her aim is to capture movement and emotional qualities in her canvases. In her still life paintings, she most often uses retro or well-worn ordinary objects that focus attention on life in our contemporary world. In her landscapes, she freezes a moment in time to exemplify the power of the life force in nature. Rich brush work and high chroma characterize her fluid painterly style in both areas of subject matter. The play of light on different surfaces and the layering of paint create depth and resonance in her work. Pottle is represented by Fountain Street Gallery in Boston, MA.
