About the Item
Large Bowl of Shells by McKenzie West is a luminous oil painting that transforms a simple collection of seaside relics into a meditation on memory, materiality, and natural beauty. In this richly detailed work, an assortment of shells, coral, and ocean fragments nestle together in a deep, weathered bowl. West’s mastery of chiaroscuro and soft, blended brushwork highlights the delicate surfaces—ranging from worn matte coral to the pearlescent shimmer of mollusk shells—creating an atmosphere both intimate and timeless.
Larger in scale than her related painting Gather, this composition invites the viewer to explore the formal relationships between shape, texture, and shadow. The work’s painterly edges, layered with patina-like marks, evoke a sense of age and discovery, as if these objects were unearthed from a long-forgotten collection.
Perfect for collectors who appreciate contemporary realism with classical roots, Large Bowl of Shells brings quiet elegance to any space.
